Title: Teaching Global Leadership: Best Practices and Cutting Edge Exercises (#12212)
Date: Friday, July 31
Time: 4:30-6:30pm (16:30-18:30)
Location: Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown: Mezzanine Level: Salon 10
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 that enable individuals to manage complexity in culturally diverse contexts. 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, activities, and exercises including an affective learning processes approach to cultural competence, use of film to analyze global leadership concepts, and use of a global virtual exchange programs, the Johari Window, systemic design, and assessment tools and personalized plans to develop global leadership capabilities, 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 and develop global leadership skills that can be applied to a variety of courses (e.g. cross-cultural management, international management, leadership).
