The Global Leadership OnlineSM tool helps assess an individual's leadership strengths and weaknesses, or can assess an organization's global mindset.
Benefits of the Toolkit
In global markets, keeping pace with the business environment, recognizing opportunities, and even knowing who the competition is, are complex challenges for the best of leaders. To remain competitive, truly global leaders must be able to see local market differences and the opportunities they create. To bring value to their customers and growth for their companies, global leaders must be able to build collaborative, "third way solutions" by recognizing and leveraging differences across national, functional, and corporate cultures. Great business results across borders can only be achieved by those leaders with a global mindset.
What's different about global leadership? What are the competencies associated with a global mindset? Global Leadership Online addresses these questions as an assessment tool that is first of its kind to identify and isolate the special skills and behaviors of successful global leaders that apply across cultures and companies.
This 360 multi-rater instrument, validated through extensive research with highly successful global leaders, can be used in any of the following ways:
- As an individual’s self-assessment of strengths and weaknesses
- As an assessment of organizational global mindset and readiness to execute on global strategy
- As a stand-alone tool, or in combination with other assessment tools, for international assignees
The assessment data can then be used for building enterprise-wide programs such as:
- Performance management and succession planning initiatives
- Manager and leader training curricula
- Leader-led learning
- Organizational reviews; selection of high potentials for special assignments or nomination to executive education programs
Leaders can retake the assessment at a later time to demonstrate both their performance progress and the efficacy of learning events that have taken place since the time of the initial assessment.
