• Resumen

  • Large global companies today are increasingly led not so much by an individual or even a single team, but by an ensemble of leaders. Consisting of the top one or two percent of executives and experts, ensembles bridge a host of differences in language, culture, time zones, experience and more. They also make it easy for groups of leaders to configure themselves according to the task at hand. How are human resource executives at global companies preparing for a future that includes such diverse leadership groups? To find out, 97 HR executives from global companies were surveyed in 2012. Global companies were defined as those operating in four or more countries across two or more continents. The companies surveyed met these criteria, and they represented a wide variety of industries and company sizes. The HR executives surveyed said they believe that top leadership groups in the future will be characterized by people with greater diversity of experience and thought styles for example, more analytical vs. more by the gut even more than by diversity of age, nationality and gender.
