  ABSTRACT: The higher education sector has been increasingly pressured to accommodate the demand of cultivating global-minded individuals. A similar phenomenon is seen in Japan. However, teaching global leadership has always been challenging in Japan due to the lack of exposure to international environments. The paper illustrates the implementation of global leadership courses at a Japanese university that attempted to address some of these issues: lack of intercultural exposure, opportunities for using English and learning global leadership in English. Some factors surrounding the current situation of global leadership education in Japan are also discussed, along with its future direction.
