May 14, 2014 - 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

Stan C. Kimer, Total Engagement Consulting by Kimer

With the explosion of the worldwide internet and easy availability of global commerce applications, practically any business today is or can be a global business. And to grow and succeed, companies need to do business globally: the fastest growing economies are outside of North America, and the talented workforce is increasing global and multicultural. This session will include:

The changes in the global business environment
A quick summary of the intersection of talents, styles and leadership competencies
A review of several leadership competency models – how they intersect and how they connect to the need for global and diversity leadership
An additional look at cultural competence – what is it and how do you develop it?
Building your development plan to grow these skills
