  8. global awareness: what are the skills? WHAT ARE THE SKILLS FOR INCREASING GLOBAL AWARENESS? Global awareness is work!

  10. global awareness How do we prepare ourselves for the complexity of being leaders who are globally aware and connected? Ian Goldin is director of the 21st Century School at Oxford. Through the school's program of research, collaboration, and education, he's powering new, cross-disciplinary thinking about global problems from the near and far future. Video

  16. cultural Intelligence Skills What are the skills necessary to build Cultural Intelligence? The Five-Step Skill-Building Process Open attitude is the prerequisite for developing cross-cultural effectiveness. Cultural knowledge must be translated into cross-cultural skills to be effective. Self and other awareness must be grounded in cross- cultural knowledge. Self-awareness accelerates other awareness. Walker, 2007

  17. Barriers to Cultural Intelligence Often, we are the ones who can get in the way our own acquisition of cultural intelligence. Addressing existing biases, fears, and prejudices are essential if we intend to build and use cultural intelligencein relationships and institutions.

  18. Cultural Intelligence Discussion How have you seen leaders exercise cultural intelligence in a way that recognizes and advances understanding, builds relationships, and increases institutional effectiveness?

  19. Assessing Cultures to Build C.I. How do we assess cultures to increase Cultural Intelligence? “Provide for me the tools to open up the world around me and I will gain the insights that will not only change me but the very world in which I live, work, and influence.”

  20. Assessing Cultures to Build C.I. When building Cultural Intelligence, the GLOBE’s nine dimensions can provide specific information that can contribute to: These nine dimensions provide “windows” into the worlds of those around us that build understanding and connections. We gain the vital details that help accelerate our own learning and the learning of our colleagues and institutions.

  21. About Case studies Case studies require us to analyze problem situations and reach our own conclusions concerning the outcome. • Name the issue. • Review the facts. • WHO is the ultimate decider? • List the key stakeholders. • Determine what matters. • Assess why it matters and to whom. • Assess your relationship with key stakeholders. • Make a recommendation.

  22. A case study The Case: Making a Meaningful Connection • In your groups, read the Richardson College Case Study. • Engage in discussion about the situation. • Provide responses to each of the questions. • Be prepared to discuss your results.

  23. Summary • Global Awareness is about building conscious awareness of how unfolding world events might in some way impact our institutions • Stay informed, connected, and involved • Broker understanding about and be an informed and reasoned advocate for Global Awareness at our institutions • Connect Global Awareness with Cultural Intelligence • Strengthen our capacity to engage in Cultural Intelligence • Contribute to institutional capacity for international community • Build a knowledge exchange

  24. What’s Your Plan Tomorrow? • What opportunities/platforms exist in the area of building Global Awareness for the future? • What steps might you take as a leader to accelerate the acquisition of Cultural Intelligence? • Who can you call on to help? • What opportunities exist in your community to increase access to healthy cross-cultural experiences?
