How Roche Diagnostics Develops Global Managers

Discuss who is responsible for producing global leaders.

When I think of the word global, what come to my mind are culture, diversity, and

countries. The word leader brings to my mind one who leads, guide or direct. A global leader is

one who can lead or manage a diversity group based upon many various differences. A global

leader is one who can understand culture and the market for other countries. The company that is

being represented is the one primarily that is responsible for producing global leaders. Proper

training and development starts with that particular company. Providing the potential leader the

proper tools and information that are necessary in order to be a productive global leader are

where the foundations begins. The global leader is the representation of the company, if the

company fails in providing a good global leader then most often that will not lead to a very

successful company for that specific company that maybe global. Proper training and

development would have to be implemented by that particular company for the global leader

along with ensuring culture understanding, language and proper education.

In your professional field, explain the possible ramifications of not having global leaders.
