SLO 5227 - Leadership Psychology II - Authentic Leadership & Cultural Intelligence


This course focuses on the development of personal mastery in terms of cultural skills and competencies. The primary skill is the ability to simultaneously hold and examine multiple perspectives. This skill is refined through the examination of Family-Of-Origin (FOO) and Cultures-Of-Origin (COO) experiences and issues, and is used as an entry point to developing greater self-awareness, sympathy, empathy and compassion for oneself and others. Students learn how to work with implicit narrative methods to bring clarity to thoughts and feelings that are not voiced but implicit in actions and behavior. The methods work with undeclared stances and the beliefs, values, or stories that are implicit in how they experience, react and respond to certain situations. Students learn how to function effectively in multi-cultural situations including contexts as diverse as spiritual beliefs, gender, physical abilities and attributes, ethnicity, income, sexuality, race, age, class, leadership experience, organizational acculturation, education, etc. This course includes learning processes for identifying and navigating cultural protocols. 3 credit(s)
