Title: Teaching Global Leadership: Best Practices and Cutting Edge Topics (#10696)
Date: Friday, August 25
Time: 2:30-4:30pm (14:30-16:30)
Location: Danish Architectural Center (DAC)
Abstract: Organizations expanding internationally are increasingly reliant on employees who can adeptly manage the complexities of operating across cultural and institutional boundaries. To excel in these multifaceted environments, a premium is placed on global leadership skills, which extend to cutting-edge areas such as sustainability, navigating complexity and uncertainties, critical thinking, diversity, and contextualizing communication skills. Yet, despite the recognition of their significance, the scarcity of skilled global leaders remains a concern, with few business schools offering comprehensive training in these evolving competencies. Addressing this gap, this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) – returning to the Academy of Management (AOM) based on high demand in previous years – offers new insights into avant-garde teaching methodologies from experts who have developed global leadership courses and exercises. This interactive PDW is designed to provide participants with several benefits, including: 1) a summary of best practices for developing global leaders, 2) round-table discussions (with handouts) of teaching tools, strategies, and exercises including the frameworks of teaching sustainability and social impact, navigating paradoxes and uncertainty, design thinking and dialectical thinking, diversity, peer-to-peer coaching, and nonverbal communication that can be used in developing class sessions, modules, or courses on global leadership, and 3) a forum for participants to discuss their own ideas and concerns related to applying best practices in their own settings. Attendees will depart with actionable knowledge on state-of-the-art practices and a repertoire of instructional techniques to effectively teach global leadership and related topics (e.g. cross-cultural management, diversity).
