Global Leadership

Global management and global leadership require different skills.

• The people you are leading come from different cultures and are based in several locations and timezones.

• Global managers have limited face-to-face time and need to make an impact through technology and stay visible to your people.

• You need to make practical decisions on where to be global and where to be local - global managers know that one size does not always fit all.

• You need to create clarity, direction and effective implementation in a complex international environment.

• You need to lead, communicate, inspire and involve across barriers of language, culture and communications technology.

• Your followers are diverse and have widely different ideas about what they expect from a leader. The leadership style that works in one country may fail in another.

• Despite international business complexity, you need to deliver things fast.

• You need to balance and lead multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.

• There are only 24 hours in a day – and someone, somewhere in the world needs you for all of them.

You recognize that there are some different skills involved in making global organizations work and don’t have the time and budget to learn by trail and error..

You really want to do something practical to improve your skills in this area.
