Global diversity requires a worldview appropriate for Culture, Change, and Leadership

Global diversity requires a worldview appropriate for
Culture, Change, and Leadership

"Culture is not a side dish, it is the main course."

- Fons Trompenaars

Leaders of our global community need to be culturally competent, manage information, create synergy from diversity, and think holistically. The culture, change, and leadership model (CCL) is a new paradigm and has been developed by the authors after decades of research and development projects. The CCL model is based on learning from this research, and we continue to add to our knowledge base. It focuses on values dualities in human culture. In our teaching, we refer to these values dualities as cultural dilemmas, and they have become an important and relevant methodological approach to manage, measure, change, and research culture and global diversity.

Leaders and professionals from business, healthcare, social sciences, government, military, and other fields must develop culturally competent, globally appropriate methods for creating change, and leadership strategies to prepare them for the challenges of our diverse and rapidly changing world. In this webinar, we will discuss a new, unique Cleary University fully accredited master’s program and two accredited, professional certifications that are delivered in an online hybrid delivery model, including a Canvas learning platform, coordinated with weekly video conference seminar meetings. 

There is also a required one-week residency at the midway point of the program.
This program will incorporate weekly online sessions, simulations, case analysis, guest speakers, and other interactive and globally applied learning experiences.
This webinar will be moderated by Kimberley Barker.
