The role of a leader is not to come up with all the great ideas. The role of a leader is to create an environment in which great ideas can happen.

About the ProgramThe 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, England, 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.

Why I Chose To Study AbroadNearly three years ago I did a two week study abroad in Prague where I completed the prerequisite course for this minor. Before even returning home I made the decision to study abroad for an entire semester. There are two main reasons why I chose this specific study abroad. First of all, being an engineer I wanted to develop strong leadership tools to make me a well rounded employee and lead me to better opportunities. Secondly, business has rapidly become globalized and there is a current shortage for qualified leaders to take on these international roles. By completing the Global Leadership Minor I am more qualified for those roles and have an advantage over other applicants. |
