Food for Thoughts – Leadership Skills
Leadership has been a basic subject in management literature. It has been dissected from different angles and viewpoints.
OUR LOGO
The first G stands for: Global leader (someone who can operate internationally) and the second G is for Geographical leader (someone who can operate in particular geography).
The service and methodology encompasses both, therefore it was G2-LEADERS.
WE DELIVER.
Multinationals are spending time and resources to train their leaders for Global and Geo postings; G2-LEADERSsm helps these companies to determine candidates who are leadership material then to focus on the necessary issues of styles (up to 20+) and skills (up to 60+) needed in the posting country.
Rationale of the services
A leader is to be appointed to work in a geography/culture different from his/her own. This service determines the suitability of the leader for expatriation then determines what kind of leadership style he/she must profess; then associating the particular skills that are needed to succeed in this new geography.
Nurturing Leaders’ Career.
The Leader thus created, will be included in a nurturing system called VIGIL to continue further coaching and career training whether in his/her current posting or for future Global and Geo-postings.

"The Jack Welch of the future cannot be me. I spent my entire career in the United States. The next head of General Electric will be somebody who spent time in Bombay, in Hong Kong, in Buenos Aires. We have to send our best and brightest overseas and make sure they have the training that will allow them to be the global leaders who will make GE flourish in the future"
