Book 7

As globalization has evolved from being the latest corporate buzzword to a basic economic reality, more and more organizations are realizing that they need managers with skills that translate well to the international arena. But unfortunately many organizations do not know how to identify and develop people for such complex responsibilities. This book-from the Center for Creative Leadership, ranked No.1 worldwide in leadership education in a BusinessWeek survey-shows how. Success for the New Global Manager explains what new global managers-those who manage across distance, countries, and cultures- look like and presents four explicit skills they must have to succeed in this new reality. It shows managers how to identify and grow these new capabilities and how to adapt the skills they already possess to a broader global context. And it advises organizations on how they can help managers acquire these important capabilities.

Learn better, work smarter Our workplace - in fact, our world - exists today in a constant state of change. It's not just technology that's evolving so rapidly; it's also organizational processes, workplace relationships, and the ways we communicate and interact that are undergoing seismic shifts. Today, it's not what you know that counts. It's how you learn. Learning management and leadership skills come from naturally occurring experiences in the workplace - from challenging assignments, coaches, role models, and even hardships. However, not all people learn equally well from these experiences. How you learn and what you learn are inextricably linked, as demonstrated from years of research from the Center for Creative Leadership. If you're striving to be a better leader - to improve your ability to learn from challenges and have greater job satisfaction - then you will benefit from the Learning Tactics Inventory (LTI). This 32-item assessment will help you understand the universal four sets of learning behaviors. You'll discover how you learn best and how you can adopt new learning strategies to improve your effectiveness.
You can learn to learn - and turn experience into your most powerful tool for success.
