以TRW公司为例,分析了其1996年启动的全球领导力项目,该结合美国课堂与全球实地学习,为设计系统化全球领导力发展项目提供了见解。
One of the first tools human resource managers turn to in meeting the challenge of developing global leaders is formal executive development. TRW, a leading company in automotive, aerospace, and information systems, provides an interesting case study of how a U.S.-based organization has dealt with the challenges of globalizing top managers. In 1996, TRW launched its global leadership program by combining U.S.-based classroom teaching with real life learning experiences from often uncomfortable locations around the world. This article reviews TRW's experience with this program and offers important insights for others contemplating designing and delivering a systematic global leadership development program. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
