Ángel Cabrera: Global Leaders Can Be Made

Thunderbird Global Council, Salzburg

Today’s Thunderbird Global Council meeting in Salzburg has helped push Vision 2020 a step further focusing on two critical issues:

1. How to measure impact. Vision 2020 calls for a focus on “global impact” and a laser focus in educating individuals who can contribute to a thriving, sustainable and inclusive global economy. This requires that we begin to report publicly on the real impact we have. The TGC is helping identify a set of indicators of impact to be included on our first “Impact Report”.

2. How to build a global community of learning and practice that will support global leaders throughout their careers and will empower them to create value in various ways through various cycles. Such community should deliver at least three types of value: inspiration, insight, involvement; it should be both virtual and physical; it should be global in composition and focus; it should be flexible and self-organizing.

Great energy, great ideas. I feel energized to take next steps. And ready for the alumni reunion tomorrow in Bad Ischl.
