PurposeMany colleges and universities within USA higher education claim that their graduates understand global leadership. The purpose of this study is to explore undergraduate students’ understanding of global leadership through their participation in short-term study abroad leadership courses.Design/methodology/approachUtilizing a post-intentional phenomenological (PIP) framework, this qualitative study explored how the phenomenon of undergraduate students’ understanding of global leadership may take shape through their participation in short-term study abroad leadership courses. A secondary research question explored how the context of short-term study abroad leadership courses provokes students’ understanding of global leadership. Interviews were conducted with a diverse sample of twelve participants, either current students or alumni, from three institutions.FindingsThe four key productions of the phenomenon were developing a leadership identity, influences of experiences, perceived impact of short-term study abroad courses on understanding of global leadership and application of global leadership. Select productions and associated provocations are discussed.Research limitations/implicationsBased on these productions and provocations of the phenomenon, implications for leadership educators are provided.Originality/valueThis inquiry focuses on the phenomenon of undergraduate students’ understanding of global leadership to build on the knowledge about the experiences of students participating in short-term study abroad leadership courses. It fills a gap in the literature related to what is known about short-term study abroad leadership courses and outcomes from student participants. The methodology of this study as a PIP design further contributes to the need for qualitative research in leadership education. It is through this methodology that the diverse sample of student voices has been captured to inform our field of their experiences.

Innovation in technology, migration, significant economic growth, and shifts in geo-politics have propelled the rate and impact of globalization. Institutions of higher education worldwide have had to respond and adapt to new dynamics created by these conditions. Where institutions might have thought of their brand as confined to a town or state, globalization has pushed institutions to think beyond borders and engage with the world at large in order to foster the development of global learners and citizens. The emergence of international leadership in higher education through initiatives such as education abroad, satellite campuses, faculty and staff exchanges, and MOUs between institutions is evidence that higher education is a global enterprise for which African American higher education leaders must be prepared. This chapter presents self-mentorship and the emotionally intelligent leadership framework to develop knowledge, skills, and awareness for effective and successful international leadership in higher education.
