Statement of purpose and leadership
My Bachelor's degree in International Business has provided me with career opportunities and now I am in a position of helping my current organization adapt to the ever-changing economy. Having studying the International Business, I have developed a global mind set; I have gained knowledge and skills on globalization in modern world and how it has connected business and people. Since there is a high rise of economic challenges as well as technological changes, my current organization focus on developing a sustainable economic developing through being connected globally. The role of globalization or rather the purpose of being connected globally is to establish markets, increase competition, develop foreign direct investment, gain technological innovation and expand the economies of scale.
Focusing on China’s role in global china, the country is the pivotal driver of this globalization (Fu, 3). With my knowledge and skills in International management, I believe that there is a need for global leadership network that will connect my current organization with organizations in China. I have demonstrated leadership quality in my current organization since I work as a project manager where I apply my skills on management principles and organization leadership. I have learnt that China focus on creating a strong leadership to be in a position of adapting to the ever-changing economy. China is also ready for developing private sectors in locally and globally and many Chinese companies private and public companies are planning to operate globally (Fu, 3).
On meet this emerging opportunity, my professional interest and goals is to create a leadership program for transformational journey or in other words develop a leadership program that will help the organizational team and leaders learn more on globalization and strategies and rethink on business model and practices before entering in the global market. The program will provide the team with skills and knowledge on digital marketing, they will learn from case-based study, team projects and exchange ideas. In preparing the organization to enter in the global market, I have a global mindset which means that I help my organization develop economically and I also think globally by creating strategies that will help the organization find a competitive position globally. My skills and knowledge in International Business have helped in understanding diverse cultures and markets and how to adapt to changes.
As a project manager, I experience some challenges in this organization since it does not have enough manpower that can provide the workforce with specialized abilities. In other words, the organization is suffering from manpower shortages and the available workers are not creative in terms of options and innovation. The organization also lack team cohesiveness and this is a big problem that will hinder the organization from achieving the goals of project planning. However, my skills and knowledge and in specific my leadership skills have helped me solve these challenges by looking for diversity. In other words, apart from utilizing my own strength and communicating effectively, I welcome diverse teams with different skills and experiences to train the team members.
In developing a global network team, my interpersonal skills such as conflict management, creative thinking, collaboration, encouraging, diplomacy, motivation, and teambuilding will help the team in achieving the desired results. I also values work ethic and relationship management and these will help achieve the goals of expanding the business internationally. In preparing the organization to adapt to the ever-changing economy, my interpersonal skills will play a valuable role. I have decision-making skills and this will help in planning decisions, build trust and a sense of collaboration. Being a good decision maker, I will also manage stress since people may have negative thoughts on the idea of relation building a bridge. I also have effective communication skills and motivation skills which will help the members feel confident in achieving the organization goals. Conflicts in organizations are inevitable and my negotiation skills will help the team create a cordial relationship. Last but not least important skill is leadership skill. This in specific strengths all other interpersonal skills in that with leadership skill, I am able to help the members achieved the planned goals, build trust and become self-motivated. My transformative role and skills and knowledge on China’s role in global trend will advance my goal of connecting the organization with Chinese organizations or in other words placing the organization in global market. My major area is to help organization executives understand both local and global requirements and they will achieve this by developing a strategic decision on global markets.
