The company you’ve been working for over the past few weeks has posted a job announcement for a VP of Global Affairs position based in another country. You have been based in the U.S. office. For this final assignment, you’ve decided that you will apply for this vacancy as you have been preparing for the position. You are granted an interview, and the interview is virtual; therefore, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to address the interview questions. Also, you will dress professionally since this is an interview and include a video embedded in the PPT of you delivering the presentation (responses to the questions below).
Q1: Tell us a little about yourself and why you believe you are the right candidate for the position? *Discuss global leadership skills and exercising authority.*
Q2: This position requires you to lead people in highly distributed virtual teams. Share with us how you plan to lead in a virtual environment?
Q3: Teams consist of members from a range of different cultures with different expectations and ways of working. How will you address the various cultures in daily operations?
Q4: As you are aware, global teams operate across time zones and operate mainly through communication technology, which can introduce new challenges with coordination and communication. Can you provide a scenario of a problem you may encounter and a resolution to that challenge?
Q5: Can you identify any changes/barriers to leading in a global organization (if any)?
Conclude the presentation by thanking the interview panel.
Length: 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation, excluding title and reference slides
