KDM 908 Global Leadership and Spiritual/Ethical Formation.

Global leadership intersects with various personal dimensions of leadership and this course promotes the spiritual and ethical development of Christian leaders with a view to their development as global leaders. Building on this “interior” awareness, a global Christian leader has the ability to stimulate the spiritual and ethical formation of a congregation or faith agency through effective and informed leadership. This includes developing an empathetic understanding of another’s culture while retaining a firm grasp of personal ethical commitments. Examples of global Christian leaders who demonstrate good ethical and spiritual practices in diverse cultural contexts will be the focus of several case studies (e.g. the issue of bribery in cross-cultural contexts).
