[MTC Global] Profile of a Global Manager

Dear colleagues

Global managerial traits keep changing fast .I have been developing modules & involvd in Making of a Glbal Manager for past  2 years. It is a rough road.

Students of Management colleges are from different places, varied background, diverse upbringing, exposed to multiple class room teaching methodologies.

Majority of them do not have the potential to become Global Manager ; 

It is not that easy or an overnight affair -- easier said than done. Some do not develop the Global thinking even after 20 years of working.

Only 10 to 15 % can become real Global pros; for others, it is a process & takes time. 

All the traits listed in earlier mails are essential -- listing down is one part but getting the into action is the crux. Almost all the Mgt faculty are focussing on completing the syllabus wherein time is always short. The process of making a Global Manager has to start from day 1 of the program & a host of industry managers have to be associated.,

regards.
