ANTH 258 - Leaders, the Led and the Evolution of Politics

3 Credit(s)

What makes great leaders and why do people follow them? Leaders are not born; they learn what it takes to lead. Great leaders have certain qualities and skills that will make others want to follow them. However, leadership strategies that are highly effective in one culture may be useless in others. To be successful in the modern globalizing world, leaders must appreciate the value of a wide range of leadership methods. This course introduces students to the study of leadership in the cross-cultural perspective. Students investigate how people become leaders and examine the specific ways cultural factors impact people’s reactions to different leadership styles.
