Focused on Bill George's principles of authentic leaders following their True North, Hubert Joly's insights into what it takes to "put a noble purpose to work and unleash human magic," and Krishna Palepu's deep insights into succeeding in emerging markets, this global leadership program includes faculty presentations, case studies on global leaders facing challenges similar to yours, introspective individual exercises, and a dynamic exchange with peers and faculty. You will examine how top global companies and their decision-makers lead effectively across markets and borders. As you explore the qualities of successful global leaders, you will uncover the unique characteristics that comprise your own leadership.
Participants should expect to spend at least 9-12 hours on self-paced case preparation prior to attending the program. Case materials will be made available approximately two weeks prior to program start.

The journey of becoming an authentic global leader requires understanding your life experiences, especially those outside your country of origin, as well as your personal aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, and biases—along with your greatest crucibles and leadership challenges. Throughout the program, you will explore these influences on your development as a global leader with a small yet diverse group of peers—your Global Leadership Group. You should be prepared for an open and honest discussion with these peers. All information shared during these intimate, supportive exchanges will remain strictly confidential.
The week culminates with the creation of your personal global leadership development plan.
