This course explores the critical role of communication in effective leadership, focusing on both interpersonal and organizational communication strategies. Students will examine how leaders use communication to influence, inspire, and build relationships with diverse stakeholders, while also addressing the unique challenges of communicating across cultural boundaries. Special attention will be given to the nuances of cross-cultural communication, including differences in communication styles, language, non-verbal cues, and conflict resolution approaches in different countries. The course will emphasize the importance of cultural sensitivity and adaptability in leadership communication, with practical tools for navigating these complexities in international or multicultural settings. Students will also learn how to communicate leadership vision, provide feedback, motivate teams, and manage crises through both traditional and digital communication platforms. Through case studies, role-playing exercises, and group discussions, students will refine their communication skills and develop a deeper understanding of how to lead effectively in a globalized world.
