GEN 150CC - Transformational Cross-Cultural Leadership(4 credits) (NWCore option under Cross-Cultural Engagement)
This course will introduce students to the multiple dimensions of leadership. Students will come to understand the critical influence of Christ-centered transformational leadership in diverse cultural contexts. Transformational leadership offers Christians a powerful means to work for restoration in today’s global society. Transformational leaders provide followers with an inspiring mission and an influence that fosters passion. These leaders challenge their followers to identify problems and think in new and unique ways about solutions. They motivate by being visionary and showing love and care for others. They encourage and support followers. They empower them. Transformational leadership is essential in our global world today as we confront racism, hunger, poverty, disease and a number of other societal ills. We need leadership that can embrace difference, foster respect and dignity for people everywhere, and nurture a systemic change that encourages thriving in every community. In this course, students will explore and compare major theories of leadership as well as the Biblical narrative and begin to discover how they can flourish as a gifted human being at work in the Kingdom. This seminar will foster a sensitive social conscience and seek to develop dynamic transformational servant leaders who will work intentionally and passionately toward restoration and transformation in today’s global society.
Note: GEN150CC is a requirement for the recipients of the James L. Franken Servant Leadership Scholarship. It is also a recommended course for second year Bridge Scholars and students involved in student leadership positions on campus.
