Teaching Global Leadership - Exercises and Best Practices

As organizations operate in and expand to multiple countries,employees must work across geographic,cultural, linguistic,and institutional boundaries. To
be effective and compete in these diverse contexts, organizations need employees with global leadership skills. Such skills include,among others,
multiculturalcompetence, boundary spanning, influencing stakeholders, leading change, making ethical decisions, building community, managing oneself,
valuing people,and empowering others (Bird, 2018; Steers &Osland, 2020). Despite their importance, the shortage of global leaders has been well
documented fromthe mid-1990s to the present,and fewbusiness schools have courses or programs on global leadership. The purpose of this PDW is to
share valuable teaching knowledge fromhighly experienced global leadership professors and practitioners who have taught courses and developed programs
on global leadership. This highly 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 and exercises in developing class sessions, modules, orcourses on
global leadership,and 3)a forumfor participants to discuss their own ideas and concerns related to applying best practices in their own settings. Participants
will leave this workshop with practical information on best practices along with a variety of different approaches and exercises for teaching global leadership
and related concepts (e.g.cross-culturalmanagement, diversity).
