How To Develop The Global Construct?
We are in a global world where the players are bigger
, the stakes are higher, and the potential consequences are wider. Leaders who fail to adapt to the new business world are likely to be left irrelevant in some small outlet, in a small obscure business, in the small corner of the world. It is those who expand their minds who have the best chances of success. Development of the global construct in both education and corporate training can prepare Generation Y and the next generation for international strategic thinking.
The mind and its ability to construct new concepts may have a large impact on global readiness in a complex web of intercultural and interfinancial interchanges. The assessment and development of managers with appropriate global mental skills is not an easy task due to its longitudinal innovative process. However, the need for this type of assessment and development has been growing exponentially over the past decade as cultural financial borders mesh against each other and integrate into new strategic approaches.
-The global mental construct requires years of personal and professional development.
The predictive validity of personality measures can often be increased by measuring mental constructs that come from both communicative processes and literary endeavors (Van de Vijver, 2008). Not all mental constructs are the same in this evaluation. However, the use of cultural empathy, cultural distance, and intercultural identity in this evaluation and development process creates an assessment with acceptable validity in predicting cultural sophistication.
-Cultural sophistication is evaluated using mental constructs of cultural empathy, cultural distance, and intercultural identity.
It is the complex processes of learning, testing, and adaptation of principles that create these mental constructs in the minds of executives. For example, an executive will have a hard time developing intercultural identity unless he or she has years of experience in intercultural situations that allow for deep levels of personal understanding. This understanding is created through the understanding the self (me-socialized self) in the context of an interconnected international world. No easy task!
Me-The socialized self
Me-conomics: The socialized self in the context of economic systems.
Before complex international constructs can be developed the learning process must be enacted through various personality predispositions. In other words, one must have the right personality mix to even engage in the developmental process. Openness to experience and agreeableness traits on the Five Factor Model create a platform for chronic learning in international situations (Westjohn, Singh & Magnusson, 2012).
Openness to experience indicates the ability to seek out new experiences while agreeableness requires the ability to be accommodating in social situations (McCrae & Costa, 1987). Successful international awareness relies on accumulated international experiences and self-awareness that comes directly from seeking out new situations, new people, and new understandings. Understandings (realities) of complex financial and cultural interchanges is developed through chronic economic and cultural exposure and adaptation in new situations.
-Understandings of the complex interchanges of culture and finance is reliant on exposure and adaptation.
As organizations seek to develop Americas international competitiveness they should consider the long-term relationships, longitudinal education process, and personality factors that impact leadership preparedness. Business and government can work together to develop educational and socialization processes that further this preparedness on multiple levels and fronts in order to develop the International Generation by capitalizing on the multicultural virtual social skills developed in Generation Y.
