In this Jeitocast, Karen Beaman interviews Lynne Morton on the subject of building an integrated competency-based approach in an organization. Lynne talks about the key competencies needed for working in a global environment by citing Morgan McCall, Developing Global Executives, who articulates the competencies of the global executive as falling into six buckets: (1) open-minded and flexible in thought and tactics, (2) having cultural interests and sensitivity, (3) being able to deal with complexity, (4) resilience, resourceful, optimistic, and energetic, (5) honesty and integrity (building on Jim Collins work on humility), and (6) value-added technical/business skills. Along with these competencies, it is also important for the successful global executive to have a stable family life.
