Die Global Leadership Academy
Die Welt steht vor immer komplexeren Herausforderungen. Um diesen zu begegnen, braucht es einen nachhaltigen Paradigmenwechsel in der internationalen Zusammenarbeit – und Verantwortungsträgerinnen und -träger, die Veränderungen vorantreiben.
Die Global Leadership Academy schafft Räume, in denen Entscheidungsträger aus den Bereichen Politik, Wirtschaft, Forschung und Zivilgesellschaft zusammenkommen und die weltweiten Herausforderungen aus einem völlig anderen Blickwinkel betrachten.
Im gleichen Zug befähigt die Global Leadership Academy globale Verantwortungseliten in Deutschland und der Welt, Transformationen zur Umsetzung der Agenda 2030 anzustoßen.
Leadership and Innovation Labs
Auf Basis mehrjähriger Erfahrung hat die Global Leadership Academy einen effizienten Ansatz entwickelt, um Wandel auf persönlicher, struktureller und systemischer Ebene zu ermöglichen – die Leadership and Innovation Labs.
Leadership and Innovation Labs schaffen einen Raum für dialogischen Austausch, Vernetzung und Innovation, stets im Hinblick auf eine bestimmte gesellschaftliche Herausforderung.
Dieser Ansatz berücksichtigt auf besondere Weise die enge Beziehung zwischen der Führungskräfteentwicklung von Schlüsselakteuren und dem Beginn systemischen Wandels in Organisationen, Netzwerken und unserer Gesellschaft.
TEILNAHME UND BEWERBUNG
Teilnehmende der Leadership and Innovation Labs durchlaufen einen mehrstufigen Auswahlprozess: Zunächst reichen die Bewerberinnen und Bewerber, basierend auf einer offenen Ausschreibung, ein Motivationsschreiben sowie ihren Lebenslauf ein. Nach einer ersten Vorauswahl finden weiterführende Gespräche zu Zielen, Herausforderungen und Erwartungen der Bewerber statt. Die endgültige Zusammensetzung der Lab-Gruppe erfolgt auf Grundlage dieser Gespräche sowie bestimmter Diversitätskriterien (z.B. Geschlecht, Arbeitsbereich, Organisation, Land).
