The Preeminent Source for the Science and Practice of Global Leadership

GMI for Government & Non-Profits

Global issues and challenges are not limited to the corporate sector. Non-profit organizations and governmental agencies face similar challenges.

The Global Mindset Inventory (GMI) is the premier assessment tool developed by Najafi Global Mindset Institute specifically for these two areas to assist in determining a global leader’s ability to be better prepared for the opportunities, risks and challenges that come from working with the cultures of the world.

Pinpoint Global Influencers

"(the GMI) not only helped me assess and evaluate my own global preparedness, but got me thinking how to help others".

David Maher. World Action Teams. Exec Director

Non-profit organizations and government agencies are increasingly facing global opportunities and challenges. They need officials, managers and leaders who can influence people and organizations from other cultural backgrounds.

Having a strong Global Mindset profile, as indicated on the GMI score, is a proven predictor of success in global leadership positions.
