Topic: Global Leadership and the challenge of diversity

Washington DC has a number of international organizations that bring together a mix of educated nations from most of the approximately 193 countries in the world. These organizations are often the designated headquarters for an extensive number of field offices located in South America, Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia. One of the challenges of the global leader is persuading the diverse individuals at HQs or in the field into becoming a united and coherent team. The tendencies of “we versus they” perceptions are often at odds with the building of a shared identity that supports the collaborative team effort.  At this OD/ICD meeting we will review a model that looks systemically at organizational behavior and then use the model to interactively explore the issues of global leadership. Participants who are dealing with a leadership challenge that has an international aspect will have the opportunity to gain insights related to their challenge and identify actionable solutions.
