Leading with a Global Mindset

This three-day executive education program is delivered via a one-on-one coaching and workshop-style format. Offered exclusively by Thunderbird, it is the second in a series of only two corporate education solutions focused on Global Mindset, a scientifically proven set of characteristics possessed by the world’s most successful global managers. The Global Mindset and decision-making style self-assessments you will complete prior to attending this workshop form the basis of this personalized professional development training that focuses on honing your individual global management skills.

Program Highlights

Prepare for the risks and challenges that come from working in a globalized business market, using cutting-edge interactive tools and interpersonal activities as your guide:

  • Thunderbird’s Global Mindset Inventory psychometric tool – Compare your Global Mindset profile results from Thunderbird’s recommended first course, Communicating and Negotiating with a Global Mindset, and your results today to learn about areas of growth and areas that still need refinement.
  • The Globesmart Cross Cultural Assessment – learn about your decision-making style and its effectiveness in other parts of the world.
  • Communications practice and role-playing negotiations – Understand cross-cultural communication situations better after participating in an interactive global leader simulation experience.
  • Professional Development – Develop priorities, objectives and action plans specific to enhancing your own and your organization’s Global Mindset.

Your global communication and negotiation skills will further be enhanced as you complete team exercises with peers from around the globe, study global case studies and participate in class discussions.
