13 June 2015, Singapore: Since middle of April 2015, I wanted to share this course or should I called it "Verified Course" entitled International Leadership and Organizational Behavior (ILOB) but work and personal commitment kept me busy. Before going into details - please let me "boss" about my achievement in the course: -
The ILOB course is offered by Università Bocconi, Italy (it is conducted in English ... I don't speak - read - write Italian!). It is a 6 weeks course and the syllabus are listed below: -
Week 1: Leadership Acumen. International perspective on leadership, common traps & challenges, and opportunities of intercultural leadership.
Week 2: Navigating Culture. Impact of cultural differences on organizations, decoding culture, culture classifications and stereotyping, developing intercultural intelligence.
Week 3: Communication. Communication and its impact on leadership identity and relationships, managing communication to improve decision making, steps for developing your intercultural communication skills.
Week 4: Motivation. Views on individual motivation, cultural differences in motivation, developing motivation and commitment in teams.
Week 5: Networking. Patterns of interpersonal relationships in/across organizations, strategically developing social networks and social capital, norms for networking across cultures.
Week 6: Conflict. Effective / defective conflict management approaches, dealing with ethical dilemmas.
I strongly encourage anyone who wish to go 'expat' or international assignment enroll this course. The course are supported by videos interviews and sharing by former student of Università Bocconi / Bocconi Alumni Association.
Assistant Professor Franz Wohlgezogen is the Lecturer for the course.
