Cultural Leadership: Harnessing Culture to Become an Effective Leader

Develop your cultural leadership skills with the University of Lincoln

Creating and maintaining a healthy organisational culture is a critical part of leadership. Leaders who understand the influence of national, organisational, and team culture will be better able to engage and motivate individuals in their organisation.

On this two-week course from the University of Lincoln, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge you need to leverage culture.

Recognise the importance of organisational culture in motivating and engaging teams

As a manager, you set the tone for your organisation. A healthy organisational culture helps to motivate teams and boost their investment in organisation-wide goals.

In the first week of the course, you’ll learn what organisational culture is and how you can shape it.

Explore the relationship between national culture and global leadership

Once you’ve understood the role of culture at an organisational level, you’ll consider the broader, global picture. You’ll investigate theories of national culture, and discuss their relevance for global leadership.

By the end of the course, you’ll have an understanding of how culture operates at different scales and the skills to leverage it for the success of your organisation.

This course is designed for managers, team leaders, and team members at any level, who want to understand the role that culture plays within organisations and leadership.
