Teaching Global Leadership in Higher Education [PDF ebook] 
Leadership Across Cultures

This book answers a need for pedagogic guidance and instruction in designing, implementing and evaluating global leadership as an academic subject. The book understands global leadership as a social practice and as a comparative subject, analysing how leadership is conceived of and practised in different countries and cultures. At the same time, the authors see global leadership from a ‘grand challenges’ perspective, engaging with the key issues of the age, some of which are identified through the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. By these means, the book proposes a distinctive global leadership curriculum with potential to aggregate and unify different approaches to the subject. The book provides the conceptual underpinning, the multicultural perspective and the practical guidance to help universities worldwide in designing and developing curricula in global leadership, a subject of increasing interest in the twenty-first century as the geopolitical, even existential challenges of the age require both research and practice which transcends the boundaries of both nations and of academic disciplines. The book will also be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of educational development and pedagogy.
