Developing an International Agricultural Leadership Program to Meet the Needs of a Global Community

Abstract: This paper advances the notion that global leadership is a necessary component of undergraduate agricultural leadership. Within an existing leadership curriculum, the development of at least three new courses with innovative approaches to such a globalized curriculum is justified and outlined. These three classes include a course designed to increase awareness of global leadership issues, a cultural assimilation course designed to prepare students for an international experience, and a capstone seminar course.… Show more

“…Experiences outside the students' home country are invaluable learning opportunities that develop, integrate, and enhance skills necessary to succeed in both their educational and future work and career paths (Kidwai, 2011). As noted by Moore, Boyd, Rosser, and Elbert (2009), graduates with international experience are a critical component of the United States competitiveness in a global marketplace. Unfortunately, many undergraduates lack knowledge that will assist them in a globalized world (Wingenbach et al, 2003).…”

“…In this era of globalization the most important challenge facing leaders is how to work across cultural differences and cultural boundaries to achieve goals and accomplish change (Wibbeke, 2009). Further, there is a need for future leaders to better understand global issues and develop the skills to become globally literate (Moore, Boyd, Rosser, & Elbert, 2009). A focus on global leadership education is essential "as the world becomes increasingly interdependent, complex, uncertain, and dynamic [and] the challenge to understand and operate within that world…become[s] ever more difficult" (Oddou & Mendenhall, 2008, p. 174).…”

“…For decades, researchers have emphasized the need for universities to assist students in developing skills and attitudes associated with success in a globally interconnected and interdependent world (Carlson & Widaman, 1988;Hayward, 2000;Snyder, Lamm, Brendemuhl, Irani, Roberts, Rodriquez, & Navarro, 2011). This is especially true within the corporate sector, where there seems to be a shortage of global leaders (Moore, Boyd, Rosser, & Elbert, 2009). In the corporate arena, the ability to relate to and interact with diverse cultures is often a pre-requisite for global employment (Pierce & Newstrom, 2000).…”

“…Developing crosscultural skills not only enhances one's ability to work with others from diverse backgrounds but also increases one's social competence within diverse societies (Harris, Moran, & Moran, 2004). In order for universities to produce globally competitive students, they must provide international experiences that shape global and cultural understanding (Gouldthorpe, Harder, Stedman, & Roberts, 2012;Moore et al, 2009).…”
