Internationalizing the Academic Leadership Curriculum.

Abstract

Leadership educators have a responsibility for preparing students for a global era through an understanding of the global dimensions of leadership. For students to truly understand global dimensions of leadership, an intentional internationalization of leadership curriculum is required. This article will demonstrate the need for internationalizing leadership curriculum, in addition to providing an example of how one university has accomplished this through its Leadership for Global Citizenship Course. Practical implications for leadership educators will be provided based on the data presented and the authors' experiences.
