Leadership for the Future (Capstone)

This seminar will synthesize the interdisciplinary content of the leadership core with an emphasis upon understanding the changing landscape in which leaders will practice. Students and faculty will explore issues associated with the utilization of power, as well as the various types of power in a twenty-first century context. In order to better grasp the context, students will study the nuances of particular cultures, as well as the commonalities that exist between them. This will be done in an effort to prepare the student to be effective across the various cultural contexts, albeit national, ethnic, organizational, generational, or ideological. With the assumption that the world is changing, the student will be able to comprehend interplay between technological and demographic trends and how geopolitical dynamics will shape the twenty-first century. This seminar is part of the Oxford Institute. Class sessions will take place on DBU's main campus and in Oxford, England.
