How can you balance global experience and local knowledge in your leadership program?

After asking " How do you measure and reward performance and potential? " You need to ask, where do the current leaders rank in regard to these questions? This is the fundmental question that has to be assessed with current leadership.

Based on what I have experienced, it is crucial to build and develop bonds if trust and rapport, minding professional rings of connections and avoiding biased ones. It is also essential to unify the agreement on values and place beliefs. Needs can be achieved healthily when starting from these areas. It is also important to value all community members excluding no one. This will help creating a community of respect and appreciation for all and include all in the process of change, based on the needs assessed and plans designed to achieve outcomes targeted.

Motivation also works like magic! Approaching others by pinpointing and continuously discussing their areas of strengths to be always modeled and practiced and even improved to reach mastery. Focusing on what’s local establishes a solid ground that can stand on and thicken layers of ice to implement practices agreed on. Being a servant leader nowadays with high levels of emotional and social intelligences that are importantly assessed and reflected on help a lot. Healthy locality attains international and global targets and taking baby steps to enlarge these circles and widen them is the secret of success that isn’t temporal but permanent.

Role Playing can go a long way in teaching cultural differences. Utilize the locals and have them offer an honest assessment to what is being displayed by those who are trying to learn.

Add some current successful leaders as team members or as an executive sponsor of each group, their knowledge and insight can contribute to the overall success of the group.

Selecting few or some to play these roles can be disappointing for other team members. True, there should be leaders to do so, but believing that empowering all to lead their place regardless to the role they play is the key to success. It’s true that not everyone can do everything, and here comes the importance of making use of everyone’s strength! Rotating roles also demonstrates trust in employees, giving each the chance to do so enlarges the circles of cross cultural collaboration and demonstrates the place values and beliefs since vision and mission have been strongly unified and practiced, also modeled by all leaders and community members.

As long as all is included, every person will do the best they can to serve their community with high quality performance in alignment with the mission and the strategic plan designed earlier starting from the need of every row and column of management.

What’s final is ongoing. Assessment and reflection lead to clear evaluation. It’s always about think act reflect and reflect act to think also are simply in the process not only product conducted.
