In this course, students explore teachings and practices from Eastern, Western, African, and other indigenous wisdom traditions. These time-tested traditions offer the contemporary leader ways to develop a calm and contemplative mind in order to lead more effectively. Given the pressures and challenges faced by today’s leaders, this course teaches students how to cultivate stillness within and support self-restoration for themselves and those they serve as they move forward more creatively, more skillfully, and with heart. In a global environment, it also offers leaders access to the common values that resonate across traditions, thus allowing them to seek out and express our shared humanity.
