Question: (1) Assume you are the VP for HR of a U.S.-based multinational company that is in
the process of developing a geocentric global staffing approach. You are considering developing
a leadership development program that would be consistent with your company's geocentric
Approach to global staffing.
(2) What would be the objectives of the leadership development program? What would be its
main components? Why? How will you measure its effectiveness?
Answer- I am the VP of Altria Group, Inc. (Which was previously known as Philip
Morris Companies Inc.). It is a US-based multinational company that produces the most
significant amount of cigarette and tobacco-related products. Right now, Altria Group, Inc.
is in the process of developing a geocentric staffing approach.
Geocentric Approach can be defined as the method of global recruitment where all the
multinational companies hire the best suitable individual for the job irrespective of their
nationality.
The reason behind the Geocentric Approach is that the earth is a pond of multi-talented
staff with the most eligible candidate, who is an expert in his field, and he can be
appointed for the job of his nationality. With the help of a geocentric Approach, all the
MNC's can develop a pond of senior executives and international level quality
experiences and contacts across the world.
I will consider the charismatic leadership program, and it will be consistent with my
company's geocentric Approach to global staffing. This leadership program will help the
individuals to encourage particular behaviors of others with eloquent personality,
communication, and persuasion. In the charismatic leadership program, employees will
learn how to motivate their followers and improve their followers' work ratio and get
things done in a certain improved way. The primary basis of the charismatic leadership
style is heroism.
(2) The main objectives of charismatic leadership program are-
Inspiration
Persuasion
Trust and respect
Empowerment
The main components of charismatic leadership are-
1. Power: It is not only about the job title where you seek power within your
responsibility but also a strong personality, active voice etc
