Inclusive Leadership: Leading through Collaboration, William Paterson University (Cotsakos)

This course examines the skills of inclusive leadership- collaboration, cultural competency, team-building, community-building, boundary-spanning, ethical decision-making, empowerment, and valuing multiple perspectives - as both personal values and interpersonal behaviors that have significant impact on organizations as social systems. Candidates will learn to differentiate across the spectrum from coercive to referent leadership and will examine concomitant individual and organizational performance using artistic, biographical, literary, historical and/or cinematic approaches. Candidates will learn to incorporate elements of inclusive and ethical leadership in the development of an organization’s vision and mission statement, and in strategic planning and evaluation. New mindsets to support collaboration and inclusivity will be explored to reshape and challenge the conventional purposes and practices while developing new perspectives for supervision that will result in improved human resource development and the transformation of organizations into communities of professional practice. Note that MBA students require permission to take this course as it operates within the EDD Leadership program, rather than the MBA program.
