The Globally Responsible Leadership for Sustainable Transformation is a new graduate–level, international course.
The course is a gateway initiative of the GRLI, The Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative, which exists to catalyse the development of globally responsible leadership and practice in organisations and societies worldwide. This innovative, global collaborative course is taught by faculty from 7 GRLI universities in Asia, Europe, and North America.
With a focus on sustainability initiatives, this team-taught seminar will offer modules from each university that will enable students worldwide to work in integrated groups on strategic business projects.
The course will be fully online and have live and asynchronous components. The Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative is a deeply engaged international, multi–sector community. For more information about the GRLI, visit grli.org.
