    Mark Mendenhall, Joyce Osland, Allan Bird, Gary Oddou, and Martha Maznevski have written an important  book on global leadership.  Global leadership: Research, Practice, and Development, published by Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), defines the skill set that global organizations are now looking for in global leaders.  Global leadership is an emerging field that seeks to understand and explain the impact of globalization processes on leadership. This is the first book to review the theoretical, empirical and conceptual literature on this important subject, and to analyze what this body of knowledge means for managers who lead in a global business context.

    Accessible to both student and practitioner alike, it explains how changes in the global context have created a demand for a distinctive set of qualities for effective leaders. This volume defines the skill set that global organizations are now looking for, highlighting the need to establish communities across diverse groups of stakeholders and initiate change as key aspects of global leadership. It also presents a critical analysis of the training and development of global leaders of the future.

    Global leadership: Research, Practice, and Development provides an important overview of a key emerging area within business and management. It is essential reading for students of leadership, organizational theory, strategic management, human resource management, and for anyone working and managing in the global arena.

    The Global Competencies Inventory (GCI) measures individual traits associated with working effectively across cultures or with other diverse work groups. It answers such questions as:
    Which competencies lead to higher levels of performance in international assignments?
    Which competencies enable an individual to more easily acquire other intercultural and diversity skills?
    What personal characteristics are universally effective across cultures or a diverse workforce?
    The GCI is a valid and reliable instrument that can be useful in succession planning, employee selection, career planning, team development, coaching, or other professional development. It is available in online and paper formats at a cost of $130 per instrument.
    To prepare you to be a qualified administrator of the GCI, we will help you
    Understand thoroughly the development of the GCI
    Know how to interpret the GCI scores for selection and development purposes
    Use the GCI to create a development plan for your clients
    This 2-day seminar is especially for trainers, consultants and coaches who want to expand their abilities to work with clients.  As a bonus, the seminar will also review the development and use of the Intercultural Effectiveness Scale, a self-scoring instrument derived from the GCI, and suitable for classroom or more general use at a cost of $12 per instrument.
