About GLM |
The Global Leadership & Team Decision Making Minor is a collaboration between the Shelton Leadership Center and NC State European Center in Prague. The Global Leadership and Team Decision-Making minor is a 15-hour minor that is designed for students who seek to gain greater knowledge and understanding of leadership and team decision-making from a European global perspective. The coursework is composed of courses grounded in theory, inquiry, and application. The student will participate in a cohort of up to 15 for a semester abroad in the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany. The student will be required to take SLC 250: Critical and Creative Decision-Making prior to the study abroad experience to complete the 15-hr requirement (unless an exception is granted). Students from any academic discipline are eligible to apply.

Minor Objectives |
A primary goal of the minor is to educate the student to be knowledgeable as a cross-disciplinary global-minded leader within whatever professional field they seek beyond graduation. The student should develop an ability to see their own leadership competencies within the context of their academic field, and then in relation to working across disciplines and cultures.
The minor is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of how to work more collaboratively, creatively, and effectively with people from disciplines outside of their origination, and more importantly from other cultures. All students interested in studying abroad in Europe with the intention to study and enhance leadership and effective teamwork from a global perspective are encouraged to apply to the minor. |
Why I Chose GLM |
The world is becoming more connected every day from social media, sports and business. As I am about to start my professional career, interactions in business with people from other cultures will become more common. This program will teach me the skills needed to navigate leadership roles, work on a team and build relationship with people from different cultures and backgrounds than my own. While the lessons from class are vital, this program is also a great opportunity to see different parts of Europe and gain first hand experience on how leadership and teamwork functions in different parts of the world.
