1. GLC Learning Events
The Global Leadership Consortium conducts an ongoing series of learning events, including Forums and Workshops. For a schedule of events for the 2005-2006 academic year, please consult the course list or Contact Us.
Forums
These 2-3 hour events are designed to broaden the understanding of leaders in government about major international issues that demand the need for global leadership competence. Forums provide a small group environment for participants to interact with leaders in the international arena and dialogue about how to enhance the ability of government agencies and employees to succeed in their international work.
Workshops
These 1-2 day sessions are designed to build knowledge and skills among participants in selected areas of international competence. Topics cover both geographic areas and issues (e.g. Islam and the West) and behavioral skills (e.g. cross-cultural competence).
The Consortium also conducts a yearly Global Leadership Development Symposium. The purpose of the symposium is to build a network among global leadership development practitioners and enhance their understanding of best practices in global leadership training and development. For information about the next Global Leadership Development Symposium, please Contact Us.
GLC Partner Learning Programs
Consortium partners (FEI, and Graduate School USDA) also offer global leadership programs. Sample programs are shown below. For a full complement of training and development opportunities, contact each organization.
2. Graduate School, USDA Learning Events

The Graduate School, USDA also operates a number of custom-designed international training programs. These are described below:
Pacific Islands Training Initiative (PITI)
The Pacific Islands Training Initiative (PITI) was established in 1991 through an Interagency Agreement between the Graduate School, USDA's International Institute and the U.S. Department of Interior's Office of Insular Affairs (DOI/OIA). The program serves Pacific insular governments by providing training services designed to support efforts to implement and maintain sound financial management and program performance practices. Although funded primarily by DOI/OIA, insular governments provide funds targeting specific projects as well as extensive in-kind contributions. Participating governments include American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (including the four FSM states of Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap), the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau.
The PITI program has trained more than 15,000 participants in 800 training programs since 1991. Examples of recent program outcomes of The Pacific Island Training Initiative:
- collaboratively developed long range strategic financial management improvement plans with several insular governments
- evaluated mission critical systems and made recommendations that resulted in the implementation of new management information systems throughout all insular governments through the Year 2000 Assessment and Skills Development Project
- enabled American Samoa and the Federated States of Micronesia to restructure personnel regulations and compensation plans as part of major reform efforts
- facilitated a training process that resulted in an approved cost allocation plan and indirect cost rate reflecting actual costs for American Samoa
- provided training and consultative assistance to the Republic of Palau in its successful effort to institute a performance-based budgeting system
- provided a training program that maintains the continuing professional educational requirements of the membership of the Association of Pacific Islands Public Auditors
International Visitor Exchanges

Established in 1974, visitor exchange programs have been implemented for the U.S. Information Agency's Office of International Visitors (now in the Department of State), the Voice of America, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of the Census, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank and numerous foreign governments, including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Observational Training
Observational programs are arranged for international visitors seeking exposure to the United States and its resources. Programs are designed to increase the participants' knowledge and skills through contact with experts in their professions, and provide the opportunity to network with individuals and organizations throughout the United States. The Institute implements programs in the following areas:
- Governance and Reform
- Environment and Natural Resources Management
- Regulatory Reform and Private Enterprise
- International Trade
- Capital Markets
- Principles of the American Judicial System
Academic and Professional Study Exchange for Republic of China Civil Servants
Designed for government officials from the Republic of China (Taiwan), the program provides academic placement services for applicants to U.S. institutions of higher education. The program also provides short-term observational study programs concentrated in each participant's specific professional area.
Japanese Teacher Exchange

It also coordinates training workshops for Fulbright teachers and regional chairpersons. Annually, 200 teachers, selected from nearly 1,000 applicants, are matched with foreign teachers from more than 30 countries. Read more information on the Fulbright program.
Professional and Academic Placement
The Institute's Professional and Academic Placement Program has, since its inception in 1974, brought thousands of policymakers, senior government officials and academics to the United States. The program combines long-term academic degree placements with short-term technical training, observational study and directed internships, leading to increased public sector management efficiency and productivity in client governments.
USAID Staff Training
For a number of years the Institute has been actively involved in training United States Agency for International Development (USAID) staff members in Washington and at Missions around the world. While hundreds of training sessions in a number of subject matter areas have been presented, the most notable in recent years has been the USAID Financial Management Program which was collaboratively designed with Graduate School and USAID expertise.
Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)
The Institute is partnering with the AGOA Training Center Africa, located in Cotonou, Benin to provide trade capacity development services to small and medium sized enterprises in Africa and the United States. Services include training programs centered on trade, product quality and business management. Additionally, business linkage services pair up compatible businesses from the U.S. and AGOA-eligible countries to facilitate trade between the two continents. The program is designed to support U.S. foreign policy initiatives aimed at reducing poverty through economic development, and domestic policy to advance trade opportunities for U.S. businesses.
3. Federal Executive Institute (FEI) Learning Events
FEI conducts a range of learning activities both at its Charlottesville campus and in the Washington, DC area. Selected offerings in global leadership are listed below. For a link to the full slate of FEI courses, please click here.
Leading in a Global Environment
http://www.leadership.opm.gov/content.cfm?cat=LGE
In FEI's Leading in a Global Environment program, participants examine critical global policy and leadership challenges. Contemporary foreign policy involves a complex mix of moral, ethical, political, economic, legal, and leadership issues, all areas rich for exploration and debate. Sessions include a mix of discussion, presentation, guest speakers, video excerpts, and case studies.
The Aspen Institute Seminar on Leadership, Values, and the Global Community
http://www.leadership.opm.gov/content.cfm?cat=AIS-LVGC
Participants examine the existence of shared values in the contemporary world. The focus is on political and economic realities and the complex relationships and conflicts among values. The understanding participants gain supports their leadership as Federal executives and citizens.
Our country's cultural, economic, and military power make it a global actor by default. Leaders of U.S. Government agencies are thrust into the global context with increasing frequency. This FEI seminar, co-sponsored with the Aspen Institute, helps leaders identify what others think and believe, and understand better why they do so.
FEI also operates custom-designed international training programs. One of these is described below
USAID Leadership Development Program
Since 1999, the Institute has supported the U.S. Agency for International Development in the development of leaders at all levels, both in the continental U.S. and abroad. This program includes a number of components which, collectively, form a comprehensive succession planning program. A brief summary of the major components follows:
Executive Seminar: This two-¬week program was developed exclusively for USAID Mission Directors. The focus is on Global Leadership and personal leadership skills. USAID specific sessions include a panel on working in a threat/crisis environment and lessons learned.
Leadership Development Program: This two-week program is designed for GS 14/15's and FS¬1/2's and high level foreign service national participants.

The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century
By Thomas L. Friedman
The world isn't going to be flat, it is flat. What Friedman means by "flat" is "connected": the lowering of trade and political barriers and the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution have made it possible to do business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet. This in itself should not be news to anyone. Globalization 3.0, as he calls it, is driven not by major corporations or giant trade organizations like the World Bank, but by individuals: desktop freelancers and innovative startups all over the world (but especially in India and China) who can compete--and win--not just for low-wage manufacturing and information labor but, increasingly, for the highest-end research and design work as well. Friedman tells his eye-opening story with the catchy slogans and globe-hopping anecdotes. He wants to tell you how exciting this new world is, but he also wants you to know you're going to be trampled if you don't keep up with it. --Tom Nissley, amazon.com.

Global Leadership: The Next Generation
by Marshall Goldsmith, Warren G. Bennis, John O'Neil, Cathy Greenberg, Maya Hu-Chan, Alastair Robertson
Drawing on the results of a 2-year Accenture study of emerging business leaders, this book shows why the skills of today's global leaders won't be enough--and why tomorrow's leaders won't resemble today's. Goldsmith and his co-authors first identify five new "factors of leadership" and their implications: global thinking, appreciation of diversity, technological savvy, a willingness to partner and an openness to sharing leadership. They explain what it will mean to lead in an era where intellectual capital is the dominant source of value; how to lead people whose backgrounds and values may be radically dissimilar from yours; and why achieving personal self-mastery is now a fundamental prerequisite for leading others.
Doing Business Internationally, Second Edition: The Guide To Cross-Cultural Success
by Danielle Medina Walker, Thomas Walker, Thomas Walker
Designed as a training program for those engaged in international business operations and academics, this book addresses the impact of cultural diversity on international business and expresses the necessity for developing "cultural competence" by international business operators. Drawing both from the literature of cross-cultural studies and from the experience of their practice, the authors (who are business consultants) take the fascinating approach of breaking the complexities of cultural differences into value orientations, put in the context of ten variables: environment, time, action, communication, space, power, individualism, competitiveness, structure, and thinking. The resulting framework offers readers systematic guidance on how to put in perspective the many factors and variations of cross-cultural issues. This work, which cites additional useful resources, is recommended for all business collections.
Global Explorers: The Next Generation of Leaders
by J. Stewart Black, Allen J. Morrison, Hal B. Gregersen
In this age of globalization challenges--from economic uncertainty to emerging markets--there are no mapped out answers for the international manager. Global Explorers guides the global manager from the periphery to the center stage of international business leadership.
In a 1997 survey of Fortune 500 firms conducted by the authors, virtually all companies indicated there was a severe shortage of global leaders. The demand for competent global leaders far outstrips the supply. Global Explorers provides the skills and outlines the competencies future global managers need to fill the leadership gap.
Using extensive research, real-life examples, and 130 in-depth interviews with senior executives representing 50 global companies, including IBM, Disney, Exxon and Sony, Global Explorers suggests the reasons for the global leadership shortage, and identifies the necessary skills to compete in the international marketplace.
