Leadership, Pluralism, and Creativity: Diversity in Action
School of Consciousness and Transformation TLD 6145 3.00
The purpose of this course is to understand and experience the ways in which diversity can be a source of creativity and strength; to explore the challenges and opportunities confronted by leaders working toward creating productive, vibrant organizational environments that embrace differences; to learn how to move with increasing ease across and among diverse cultures in our work as leaders and in our daily lives in a multicultural, global society; to understand the theoretical and practical constructs that are helpful in this journey; and to deepen understanding of the impact of our own race, culture, gender, differing abilities, social class, and “sexual affectional” preference on leadership practices.
