The MQF Level 7 Award in Cultural Leadership is a unique opportunity for cultural leaders in Malta and those aspiring towards a leadership position in the cultural and creative sectors to open up conversations about cultural leadership and how this impacts the sector on home ground.

Learners will gain in-depth knowledge and insights on cultural leadership through case studies, theoretical frameworks and interactive and practical applications. They will understand the notion of cultural leadership and definitions attached to the term, explore different leadership styles and approaches towards such styles, and learn effective tools to develop and implement vision, communications, team dynamics and conflict resolution. They will also engage in a critical reflection on the ethics of leadership with their own practice and ecology.

Learners will learn to:

• Reflect on the influence of culture and cultural differences on leadership skills, behaviour, and performance
• Analyse factors in their own culture, which affect their behaviour and interactions with other people.
• Analyse influence effectiveness in cross-cultural encounters
• Understand behaviours from the perspective of another culture
• Practically apply critical thinking to demonstrate enhanced and effective cross-cultural leadership skills
• Take advantage of cultural diversity and a multicultural work environment, through a ‘culturally synergistic’ management approach
