Global Leadership Programs: An Overview

Philosophy

It can be lonely at the top, and working globally can be overwhelming. Our programs for senior leaders provide the leader and/or team with the support of professionals who know the stresses of working in highly complex and competitive environments. They bring the processes and tools to use the challenges of the global business arena to provide personal and professional opportunities for the leader.

Who Are Global Leaders?

Global leaders are those who:

• Work for international or global organizations
• Manage or are managed by someone from another culture
• Lead teams with members from more than one country or culture
• Have work that has an impact on the world

What is Global Leadership Coaching?

Global Leadership Coaching Programs, designed by Global Coaches Network, are the most powerful programs we know of to develop the leadership potential of global leaders in the context of achieving their organizational goals. These programs provide opportunities for leaders to transform themselves and build their capacity to lead based on the challenges and ambiguous demands of doing business across cultures. These programs are available to individual leaders, leadership teams and organizations.

Coaching programs in general focus on building on the strengths of the leader, minimizing the impact of the less developed areas, and eliminating barriers to achievement. Using the coaching relationship as its foundation, the client and coach use a process of inquiry and discovery to achieve the goals of the client. Coaching is action oriented: clients are accountable to the coach and to themselves to take action between every session.

Global Leadership Coaching includes all of the elements of the coaching programs described above and also provides for the special needs of the global leader including the need for:

• Space to process the complexities of working globally
• Global leadership competency development
• Ways to leverage cultural differences to achieve organizational objectives
• Organizational System Savvy
• Competence leading host country national
• Conscious contributions to the global community
