Special Lecture

(Graduate school)

【Course Title】

・International Seminar for Leadership I

This course aims at enhancing a general understanding of the dynamic nature of leadership and gender. This course purposes to understand both theoretical analysis and practical knowledge on leadership by analyzing a variety of different subjects. In the era of globalization any single perspective cannot fully explain the background and the characteristic features of global agendas on leadership and gender. Based on lectures by the instructor and guest speakers, and team-project, students will understand multilateral aspects of the current global issues on leadership and gender and they will learn how to analyze and solve those issues.

・International Seminar for Leadership II

Why is the development of women’s leadership becoming more critical for the future society? Why should women leaders’ role and qualities be attended to and emphasized? By addressing these questions, this course aims at introducing a new leadership paradigm that adequately fits to the changing new global environment in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. This course aims to identify a novel leadership model for the new era, as most of the pre-existing leadership models were primarily based on the Western and male-dominant perspective. With the awareness that pre-existing leadership models cannot adequately address the directions for the women leaders of the global society in the future, this course offers to widen its perspective through the understanding of Asian women and Asian women leadership, in particular. It also evokes a fruitful discussion on cultural and historical Asian values of women leadership, and finally expand the effective agendas for women leadership in the Asian region.
Within each of the broad topics considered in the course, we seek to achieve three central objectives: (1) examine some of the most salient features of existing leadership models; (2) explore the differences and similarities between male and female leadership from the comparative perspective; and (3) discuss some of the key problems that existing leadership models face, and research agendas posed by these problems.
