2.2 Discussion. Global Competencies

Getting Started

Building upon learning in the course thus far, this assignment offers the opportunity to reflect upon global leader competencies and, in particular, identify both strengths and areas for development in your own global leader competency skillset. Begin by viewing and reading the assigned resources, paying special attention to Slide #29 in the Dr. Joyce Osland presentation.

Background Information

The following resources provide descriptions of global competence:

· The 

PISA 2018 Global Competence
(new tab)

 webpage provides a description of global competence in both visual and text formats.

· The 

PISA 2018 Global Competence Framework
(PDF document)

 document explores global competence in greater detail. 

Instructions

1. View the following two videos: If The World Was 100 People | by Jay S and Dr Joyce Osland Interview

2. Read the article 

The Top Six Leadership Challenges Around the World
(new tab)

.

3. Review the slide presentation by Dr. Joyce Osland: 

Cultivating Intercultural Leaders
(PDF document)

, paying special attention to her pyramid model on slide #29.

4. In your initial post (250-300 words) and based on the assigned materials, discuss a couple of your leadership strengths that you have exhibited within your own culture and how they would help or hinder your leadership efforts in a multi- or cross-cultural context. Consider how you would address one or more of the challenges that tend to accompany leading in the more complex global setting. How does Dr. Osland’s Pyramid Model of Global Leadership Competency inform your understanding of what you need to do to better develop your skills and capabilities?

1.4 Assignment. How and Why Leadership Differs between Cultures

Getting Started

Imagine your supervisor called you into the office one day and informed you that the department you were leading has been outsourced to another country…and YOU were being moved there to train the new employees? Now, imagine further that the country you are now moving to shares little with the culture to which you have been accustomed. For this assignment, you will view a feature-length film that fictionally tells this story, one that has been very real for many leaders who find themselves in a global context. While the film probably will make you laugh a bit, it also provides some glimpses into just how complex the role of the global leader can be.

1. View the 2006 feature-length film (NOT the 2010 TV series) entitled “Outsourced,” starring actor Josh Hamilton (PG-13 rating). While this movie is considered a mix of comedy, drama, and romance, it offers many interesting insights into what it would be like to find oneself leading a team in a very different culture. The film is widely available for viewing from streaming apps like Freevee, Tubi, and DirecTV. It also may be rented inexpensively from Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, and others.

2. After viewing the film, write a one and a half to two-page reflection essay (400-600 words) about your observations. Here are some thought starters:

a. What mistakes were made by the main character? Why do you think he made them?

b. What are some of the challenges that the main character experienced that would be particularly challenging for you in a similar situation, and why?

c. How would your emotions influence your rational thinking in such a different culture?

d. What would be some steps you might take to address the disorientation that you are likely to experience?

e. What leader behaviors would you prioritize as you adjusted to leading in a different cultural context?

1.1 Devotion. Cross-Cultural Leadership Lessons from Scripture

Getting Started

4 In his 2016 book, 
Crossing Cultures in Scripture, author Marvin Newell explores the Bible’s rich cross-cultural history and insights:

5 The Bible is a book rich in cultures. Think for a moment of some of the cultures that have expression in Scripture: Hebrew, Chaldean, Egyptian, Ethiopian, Hittite, Mesopotamian, Syrian, Assyrian, Philistine, Canaanite, Moabite, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and Roman, to name most of them. Here’s the amazing part: God worked in and through his servants crossing through these cultures to bring his grand story of redemption to us. The Bible is full of cross-cultural encounters that have lessons for us today. An astounding number of biblical characters grew in their understanding of God, the world, and themselves through, as Nelson Jennings puts it, “getting lost” in the wilderness wanderings of cross-cultural experience. Notable persons such as Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Ruth, David, Daniel, Jonah, Nehemiah, Jesus, Philip, Peter, Barnabas, and Paul stand out as individuals who worked their way through cross-cultural contacts and experiences. Some, like Joseph, Daniel, and Paul, had prolonged experiences. Thus it’s evident that there is much to learn from the cultural encounters found throughout Scripture and portrayed in the lives God used to unfold his redemptive story. The many accounts of individuals who crossed cultures as part of his design for their lives convey cultural lessons for us today that help inform our cross-cultural encounters as well. The anecdotes and teachings throughout Scripture related to culture—from Genesis to Revelation, from Eden throughout eternity—should not be ignored. Indeed, they have an increasing value to us who live in an increasingly multicultural world and wish to study the art of crossing cultures as portrayed throughout Scripture. (p. 16)

And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Let us go down and there confuse their language, so they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there, the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

a. Are there any human-made “stairways to heaven” you are building in your life?

b. Are your accomplishments drawing more attention to yourself than bringing glory to God?

c. If so, stop and reflect. Are your purposes noble? Are your goals in line with God’s will?

d. If you have a worldview different from a Christian worldview, what applications can you make from the Bible story?

e. What applications from the Bible story can you make to organizational mission, goals, or purpose?

2.3 Reflection. Cultural Identity. Who am I and How am I Different?

Getting Started

Remember the KEY to effective global leaders: Keep Extending Yourself. Stretching into areas of discomfort, even becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable, is often an important consideration for global leadership. For this assignment, you will write a reflection paper 
after choosing and completing one of the following three activities:

· View one episode of your choice of “Finding Your Roots” (a PBS program).

OR

· Visit an ethnic restaurant with which you are unfamiliar.

OR

· Attend an ethnic/cultural festival to which you have never before been exposed.

Instructions

1. You have a decision to make! Choose one of the three activities:

a. View one episode of your choice of 

Finding Your Roots
(new tab)

 (a PBS program).

b. Visit an ethnic restaurant with which you are unfamiliar.

c. Attend an ethnic/cultural festival to which you have never before been exposed.

2. After completing your choice of one of the activities above, write a one and a half to two-page reflection essay (400-600 words) about your observations. Here are some thought starters:

a. Why did you choose the activity that you chose? (Especially consider your internal “debate” about what to do, not do, and why – that internal conversation may reveal some things for reflection.)

b. During the activity, in what ways did you become aware of feeling or being different from other people?

c. What did the activity leave you most curious about? What might increase your understanding of different cultures the next time you have such an experience?

d. What other experiences have you had that created some cultural discomfort for you?

e. Challenge yourself: Who are you? How are your values different from other people’s? How might your values not be the ‘norm’?

f. How does your identity inform the way you lead others?

g. What seems to be your next action step or area for personal and professional growth as it relates to inter-cultural issues

3. Inasmuch as this is a reflection paper, first-person voice is acceptable. No additional sources are required, as well.
