Unit 6 Assignment: Presentation to Increase Global Interconnectedness
The following Course Outcome is assessed in this assignment:
GB600-2: Practice global interconnectedness as it applies to your field of study.
For the Unit 6 Microsoft® PowerPoint® assignment, you will present the skills and behaviors necessary to practice global interconnectedness in your field of study. Chapter 14 of the text (DuBrin, 2019) addresses the leadership challenges stemming from working in international and culturally diverse environments and how the modern leader must be multicultural because corporate success, profit, and growth depend increasingly on the management of a diverse workforce.
In a 10-slide presentation, you will introduce a specific goal you have regarding global interconnectedness. Next, you will review Figure 14-1 of the text (DuBrin, 2019) and conduct additional research on the key dimensions of differences in cultural values; then present how a leader can use this information to become more effective. You will also conduct research on cultural intelligence including cognitive, physical, and emotional and present how a leader can use this information to become more effective.
Then, using the results of your assessments as well as your research on the key dimensions of differences in cultural values and cultural intelligence, you will analyze your current strengths and opportunities as a multicultural leader. Finally, based on your research and analysis, you will provide specific recommendations for steps you can take to achieve your goal regarding global interconnectedness and when you will begin implementation of each recommendation.
