Since 1990,
GROVEWELL's principal mission
has been global leadership development, particularly the development of
managers' cultural competence and capacity for leading and influencing
across cultures, that is, the capacity to lead across differences in
values, mindsets, relationship patterns, and business practices.
-
Our
leadership programs upgrade leaders' repertoires for responding to the
relationship-building, performance-enhancement, and communication-effectiveness
challenges that result from value, mindset, and cultural differences.

Global Leadership Development: Our Expertise
Genuinely
global leader training and development is the mission of GROVEWELL
because one partner is an interculturalist and the other partner is an
anthropologist. They, in turn, have selected associates with global
business leadership experience plus education, training, and living-abroad
experiences that have honed their cross-cultural awareness and adaptive
skills.

"Genuinely
global" means that GROVEWELL's
leadership programs have been deliberately crafted to be global-minded
in content and approach, not merely a Made-in-America product that's
"global" in distribution.

The GLOBE Research Findings on Business Leadership
Worldwide
The Wharton
Business School was the home of the GLOBE Research Project, which investigated
business leadership in 62 societies. The research team’s stated objective
was "to determine the extent to which the practices and values of business
leadership are universal, and the extent to which they are specific to
just a few societies." In this, the team succeeded.
-
GROVEWELL
was one of the earliest adopters of the GLOBE Project's findings on global
variations in business leadership styles. For our overview of GLOBE's
many valuable findings, visit Grovewell.com/GLOBE.

the constraints of an American (or other national) management style in
settings abroad.

abroad.

in business leadership.

To practice
cultural competencies for responding appropriately to value and mindset
differences.

To gain
simulated experience of contrasting management, communication, and relationship
styles.

To learn
ways of influencing culturally different counterparts in the absence of
authoritative control.
-
To become
familiar with business practices and cultural styles of a specific nation
or world region.
-
To learn
to manage group heterogeneity within global teams, then use it to attain
high performance.
In cultures
where highly interactive training is contrary to prevailing norms, or with
people from such cultures, our trainers will make appropriate style adjustments
in consultation with our local client.
