You can read a book & learn how to manage, but you can't read a book & learn how to lead.

ABOUT GLM
The 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 ABROADWith our increasingly globalised economy, I chose to study abroad in order to gain a greater sense of cultural competence by learning how other societies work and live. As a future engineer, I hope to use the skills I've learned in order to effectively lead diverse teams when faced with solving a problem, no matter where it is in the world.
