Global Leadership
Discover and Create the Future
Program Overview
Help Your Organization Thrive in a Rapidly Changing World
Global Leadership is a consortium program designed in partnership with leading global corporations to address their most pressing talent priority: developing the organization’s highest-potential leaders today to address the business and management challenges of tomorrow.
Global Leadership accelerates the development of member companies’ top talent in anticipation of creating a future that cannot yet be predicted. Rising executives cultivate the capabilities and mindset they need to lead their organizations into this complex new era of global and digital transformation.

Who Should Attend
Global Leadership members are non-competing corporations seeking to expand their reach in global markets.
Membership in the consortium is by invitation only. It requires each corporation to identify six or more high-potential leaders for the program annually. These participants, drawn from across the globe, form a diverse cohort that encourages rich intellectual and creative cross-pollination. They emerge from the multi-month learning experience with an expanded perspective—and the competencies and confidence of a wise global leader.
At various times since its inception in 1998, the consortium has included such leading multinational corporations as Colgate-Palmolive, Corning, Deere & Company, the Ford Motor Company, LVMH, Rolls Royce, and Walmart.

My time with Tuck Executive Education was transformational. During the home visits, what struck me the most was seeing how happy and resilient people were despite having very little based on our American standards. Without question, the experience has helped me become a more adaptive and empathetic leader.

Tuck’s Global Leadership is a true partnership program, where together we take a long-term view on developing global leaders.
Geraldine Harrison
Head of Executive Development at Rolls-Royce
Global Leadership offered an amazing opportunity to reflect on some really key questions. For example, how do you manage and adapt while working with people from different backgrounds and lived experiences? The program prepared me to harness the full power and capabilities of a team rather than focusing on individual contributions.

Program Curriculum
Immersive Learning Across the Globe
Global Leadership offers consortium-based cohorts the knowledge, frameworks, and tools that help them develop transformative and impactful outcomes in emerging markets. The program consists of two week-long modules plus an Action Learning Project—with each element offering a globally significant learning opportunity.
Our key distinguishing feature is immersion learning in a place that is significantly changing the face of global business. As participants engage with these different markets, they develop empathy for the diverse needs of people across the world and begin to innovate more customer-centric solutions. They witness the dynamics of global markets first-hand and apply their learnings to their companies’ most pressing problems.
Peer engagement and on-going coaching support them in their discoveries and create enduring professional networks. The curriculum also integrates multiple pedagogies so participants will learn new leadership behaviors and team effectiveness skills while delivering business results.
The Global Leadership experience includes modules in:
-
Hanover, New Hampshire
Module 1 takes place at the Tuck School of Business on Dartmouth College's iconic New England campus. The module highlights key strategy and innovation frameworks and digital transformation, setting the stage for rich experiential learning. Storytelling, mindfulness, and leadership frameworks equip executives with valuable tools and practices to fuel their development throughout the program.
-
Silicon Valley, California
Module 2 highlights how Silicon Valley excels at breakthrough innovation and novel ventures. Working with Tuck faculty and some of the world’s most influential technology firms, investors, and design thinkers, participants learn how to drive continuous innovation in their companies by “looking out” to seek insight and opportunity beyond internal boundaries. They'll learn to understand what technologies are emerging and how other players experiment with new ideas.
Action Learning Project
Global Leadership's unique design integrates multiple pedagogies to accelerate professional growth. At the start of the program, each company identifies a strategic business challenge that becomes its objective Action Learning Project. It then charges its team of participants to apply new thinking and experimentation to drive recommendations. The stakes are real, and the results must be of highest quality, but coaching and reflection make it safe for participants to take risks and push toward innovative outcomes.
Throughout the program, as participants work on this project of strategic importance to their C-level leaders, a sponsor in each company oversees the project charter, while a coach guides the collaboration and supports group and individual growth. The action learning happens in places that have significantly changed the face of global business, so participants learn new leadership behaviors and team effectiveness skills while delivering business results for these demanding markets. The result is that Action Learning Projects deliver both learning and vital business outcomes.
