Program Overview

The Global Leadership & Team Decision-Making (GLM) Program is a collaboration between the Shelton Leadership Center and NC State European Center in Prague. Participants will earn 12 credits towards the 15-hour GLM minor.  This unique and competitive program is designed for students seeking to gain greater knowledge and understanding of leadership and team decision-making from global and European perspectives. The coursework comprises courses grounded in theory, inquiry, and application. Participants take classes together and travel as a cohort in the Czech Republic and in two other European countries. All are required to complete ‘SLC 250: Critical and Creative Decision-Making’ prior to the study abroad program in order to satisfy the 15-hr minor requirement (unless an exception is granted). Students from any academic discipline are eligible to apply.

Minor Objectives

A primary goal of the minor is to develop students into becoming cross-disciplinary globally minded leaders within whatever professional field they seek beyond graduation. Students will develop the ability to view their leadership competencies within their academic field as well as gain valuable experience working across disciplines and cultures.

The minor is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of working more collaboratively, creatively, and effectively with people from disciplines outside their origination and, more importantly, from other cultures. All students interested in studying abroad in Europe to study and enhance leadership and effective teamwork from a global perspective are encouraged to apply to the minor.

Student Learning Outcomes

After this minor, students will be able to:

• Identify leadership theories across cultures and disciplines
• Assess how values and ethics influence leadership outcomes from a global perspective
• Compare and contrast leadership practices and strategies across disciplines
• Relate leadership theories and practices to real-life situations
• Articulate the most appropriate team decision-making strategies to implement in different situations
• Explain the differences between leadership strategies and theories across cultures and disciplines

Courses

Each 3-credit course will be taught in approximately two to three weeks, in a different European location, except for SLC 250. Twelve of the fifteen credit hours required for the minor will be taken abroad. Courses may be co-taught by NC State faculty and local faculty from our partner universities.
