World Economic Forum:  Creating Global Leaders (SHRM Foundation DVD)

The executives explain that problems cannot be solved by any one organization or entity, and that the goal of the Forum is to bring people together from various backgrounds, share their perspectives, and solve problems in a civil and diplomatic way.

  Five lessons that any organization can learn from the World Economic Forum’s experience in developing global leaders for tomorrow’s organizations:

1. Seize opportunities to learn about different cultures, values and perspectives so that you can navigate and bridge those differences.

2. Get a coach and a mentor early in your career; if possible, work with a coach to help you recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses and to learn from your mistakes. Meet regularly with your mentor and watch how he/she acts as a leader.

3. Understand that to lead leaders, you must be authentic and genuine, demonstrating strong moral and ethical values in all that you say and in all that you do.

4. Recognize the interdependencies among global issues, countries, communities and people.

5. Practice collaborative leadership–make the effort to hear everyone’s voice and actively seek input
