CAS 1543 (Ethical and Intercultural Leadership): Week 4 Guide
Ancient & Indigenous Worldviews
This week examines alternative approaches to leadership by comparing Indigenous leadership traditions with Western leadership models. Students explore how different cultures define leadership, organize communities, make decisions, and prioritize values. The objective is to recognize that leadership practices are shaped by cultural worldviews and to apply these concepts in analyzing a real or fictional leader or organization.
