Alumni of Global Network schools are invited to a panel discussion, Globalization and Teamwork: Past and Future, moderated by Yale SOM Dean Emeritus Jeffrey E. Garten at the Yale Club of New York on Wednesday, March 16, 2016, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Registration is required.
Today's global business environment is more connected than ever. A broad global perspective and understanding of the connections between markets is a critical skill for any leader. To succeed globally, leaders need to understand local, national, and regional contexts, but most importantly, leaders need to understand how to create and manage global teams. What makes global teams succeed or fail? What skills are needed to work on projects with teams spread across cultures and time zones? What are key organizational and leader attributes that need to exist to enable today’s virtual teams? How does one navigate the complexity of a globalized business landscape?
We invite all alumni of the Global Network of Advanced Management (GNAM) to join Yale School of Management Dean Emeritus Jeffrey Garten and a panel of distinguished alumni representing several GNAM member business schools for a dynamic, real-world conversation. This will also be an opportunity to meet GNAM students who will be attending as part of their participation in Global Network Week at Yale SOM. Dean Garten will reflect upon his new book, From Silk to Silicon: The Story of Globalization Through Ten Extraordinary Lives, and will lead a panel discussion about the implications of globalization on the future of teamwork across regions, cultures, and sectors.
The evening will begin with a networking reception with beverages and hors d’oeuvres. Signed copies of Garten’s book will be available to purchase with your registration and will be distributed at the event.
