Follow on Google News | Intercultural Training & Assessment Expert to Speak at Rutgers Ethical Leadership Speakers SeriesEthical Leadership and Intercultural Competence in Global Business – Working with Diverse Clients and Cultures
“Business’ Program discussion topics will include: How do we define ethical leadership when operating globally and working across different world views and values, even within our own country; How do we assess our own intercultural competence; How can a more advanced intercultural competence help us anticipate and understand and address business and personal challenges; And how can we improve our response to ethical dilemmas. “Measuring and developing a global mindset with ethics at its foundation is essential in the midst of today’s economic challenges and diversifying workplace,” says Doug Stuart, PhD, director of intercultural training and development at IOR Global Services. “Since ethical perspectives evolve with personal and professional growth, effective leadership development is crucial in our response to global challenges, along with a reliable means to measure this development.” The program also offers a unique opportunity prior to the event. Participants have the option to complete an Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), a statistically reliable, cross-culturally valid measure of intercultural competence adapted from the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity. During the program, Dr. Stuart will explain the inventory and guide participants through the meaning behind confidential individual and group results. The event will take place at Rutgers Business School, 1 Washington Park, Newark, New Jersey, 9:30 am until 12:00 pm. Previous IEL Speaker Series have included: “The Tyco Story: Past Present & Future – How to Recover from Unethical Management Behavior;”“Giving Voice to Values;” and “Bribery & Corruption in the Global Economy—Mitigating Risk through Effective Corporate Leadership & Culture.” These events featured well-renowned speakers in the field of ethical leadership. About Ethical Leadership and Intercultural Competence in Global Business Featured Speaker: Doug Stuart, PhD, is IOR Global Services’ Director of Intercultural Training and Development. Doug’s primary professional interest is the rapidly developing field of intercultural assessment. He is licensed to deliver and interpret a variety of intercultural and other assessment instruments that he applies in executive coaching and leadership development. Doug also frequently consults with corporate clients on the choice of appropriate instruments for selection and development of their global workforce and his overview of a dozen such instruments was published in the 2009 SAGE publication, Contemporary Leadership and Intercultural Competence. He is currently preparing an update of that paper to address the recent development of new and more sophisticated instruments. Doug also delivers group programs on the development of intercultural competence and conducts assessment-based intercultural and developmental coaching. Assessment tools link directly to Doug’s deep interest in adult development and its relationship to the leadership challenge in the ever more complex environment of global business. In addition to his PhD from the Illinois Institute of Technology, Doug pursued post-graduate studies at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, in transpersonal psychology at Naropa University, and earned his certification in client-centered therapy from the Chicago Counseling and Psychotherapy Center. He also has a master certification (2010) in developmental assessment from the Interdevelopmental Institute. His most recent paper, Taking Stage Development Theory Seriously: Implications for Study Abroad, will be published this summer in Stylus’ Student Learning Abroad.
