Monday
Globalisation, complexity, opportunity
In the first session we discuss some the complexity of globalisation and how this makes management and leadership difficult. After the session viewers should be able to identify which aspects of global complexity most affect their leadership.
Tuesday
Leading through networks
We all know it’s good to build networks, but when you’re leading globally, networks are essential. So in this session we’ll discuss two basic kinds of networks that every leader needs: fishing nets for collecting information and safety nets.
Wednesday
Leading diverse teams
With globalisation comes more teamwork and these teams are inevitably diverse in terms of culture, function and gender. After this session, viewers should be able to apply a toolkit for getting performance from diversity in their teams.
Thursday
Leading with cultural intelligence
In this session we will explore these three aspects of cultural intelligence. After this session, viewers should be able to assess their own broad level of cultural intelligence and should be able to identify ways they can increase it.
Friday
Leading across distances
We will show how virtual teams help to connect people in multinational organisations and give the company a human face. We will then close the session by emphasising how executives in global firms can lead people effectively so that globalisation brings real opportunities.
