Profiles in Courage:
Business Unit Leaders

In our last issue, we ran the first in our three-part series of leadership transition research, Mid-Level Leaders Are Key to Strategy Execution. In part two, we’re turning our focus to challenging the transition from mid-level leader to business unit leader in Profiles in Courage: Business Unit Leaders.

PDI Ninth House researched thousands of leaders across the globe to uncover critical factors for making a successful transition into the role of a business unit leader. We found that their primary challenge is learning how to manage the often-competing needs of disparate groups, rather than a single team, while managing key metrics.

LG Electronics Uses Assessments to Support Global Growth Initiatives
LG Electronics needed to build a top global leadership team. “To meet our aggressive growth initiatives, we needed to expand beyond common Korean practices,” said the Senior Vice President, Talent Management, LG Electronics. “We wanted a partner that would help us measure and evaluate our leaders against global norms. We had to be the best in the world, not just adequate.”

LG collaborated with PDI Ninth House to measure and evaluate leaders against global norms, and enhance development of its procurement division and senior executives. Simulations gave leaders realistic experiences and provided the steps they needed to build their global leadership impact.
