Global leadership model

Global leadership model image

Given corporate growth pressures, globalization strategies are happening at unprecedented scale and intensity – with no foreseeable end in sight.

 

Yet few organizations are well prepared for the talent demands required to successfully lead the business objectives behind those globalization strategies. They: 

 

  • Often lack frameworks for identifying global leadership talent

 

  • Maintain inadequate talent management practices

 

  • Have hit-or-miss approaches to development.


Mercer has partnered with Jay Conger, one of the world’s experts on leadership to develop this new body of research. Jay is a Chaired Professor of Leadership at Claremont McKenna College in California and a visiting professor at the London Business School.

A flawed approach

 

Global leadership is generally just thought of as the highest level of each competency.

 

“The research we’ve conducted with Mercer shows is that this is a flawed approach. Global leadership is not the next level of leadership but a slightly different animal all together,” said Jay Conger.

 

“In the model that we’ve outlined, there are some new competencies that are not typically part of a leadership model and some other competencies that are similar but have a different meaning than how you might be using them.”
