Survey on Global Leadership Development in Japan
This message is to ask for your kind cooperation in the global leadership survey scheduled starting in September, collaborating with a global leader development expert, Zenger-Folkman, and Target Training International.
Objective of the research is to understand (a) what competency high performing managers tend to possess in Japan, (b) how they have developed the competency, and (c) what differences and similarities exist between Japanese and western global companies operating in Japan. Target respondent of this survey is effective managers of multiple teams in your organization, who have more than 7 years of managerial experiences and constantly rated highly. We would highly appreciate if you could participate in this research to contribute to advancement of global leadership in Japan.
BACKGROUND:
As announced by WFPAA, SHRM, as well as Keidanren and Keizaidoyukai in Japan, developing effective leaders has been the top HR matter and a pressing need in this fast moving global business environment. Recent global research identified 16 competencies that high performing leaders possess. However, there were no sufficient studies conducted in Japan in terms of (a) what competencies Japanese leaders have, (b) how effective leaders perform in those global leadership competencies, and (c) how they have obtained those competencies.
BENEFIT FROM JOINING THIS SURVEY:
By participating in this survey, your organizations and leaders will gain new knowledge and insight of global leadership development, such as (a) key strengths and improvement areas of participating managers vis-à-vis global leadership, (b) further strengthening opportunities for your leadership development system, (c) increase leadership capacity of participants, (d) increased overall leadership development. Those can results in increased organization, productivity and business performance. Please note that company and individuals' names will not appear on the report.
SURVEY METHODOLOGY:
Primary method is on-line surveys among 8 - 10 high performing leaders/ managers on (a) global leadership competency and (b) psychometrics, which will take about 50-60 minutes in total. We might later ask a few participants for a follow-up interview.
If you agree to participate in this global leadership development survey, key steps will be:
- Confirm your understanding and agreement.
- Upon confirmation of your agreement, we will send you a message and a link to assessment sites for you to distribute to your selected high performing leaders/managers of your company.
