Awaken Group Releases 2nd Annual Global Leadership and Innovation Report
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Awaken Group released their 2nd annual Global Leadership and Innovation Survey (GLIS) U.S. Report this week, a research study that surveys over 100 U.S. business leaders (e.g., CEOs, Presidents, founders/owners) about the challenges they face as they grow their organizations and prepare for further global expansion. The report and a sample are now available on Awaken Group's website http://awakengroup.com/news/glis-us-2011/.
Did you know that less than 25% of business leaders feel very prepared for global growth compared to 33% last year? Confidence has dropped while global competition is increasing and leaders anticipate geographic expansion to be the biggest strategic shift in the next 3-5 years. Executives are looking for ideas and strategies to help them to better prepare. Readers will find case studies around how several companies are addressing these challenges, including stories of successful geographic expansion, innovation, and increased profitability.
The GLIS 2011 U.S. Report offers insight into what is already working for leaders as they address common leadership challenges, such as, how to hire the right people and how to create a culture of innovation. Also included in the report is valuable advice for business leaders on how some companies are effectively entering new markets and why it may make sense to find local partners vs. trying to enter new markets alone.
The report is based on key findings from survey results along with insights from in-depth interviews with ~20% of survey participants. Conversations reveal what leaders will focus on in the next 3-5 years, and how they plan to address their strategic priorities and challenges. The GLIS 2011 U.S. Report concludes with five key steps to get started on global leadership and innovation.
