GMI for Government & Non-Profits
Global issues and challenges are not limited to the corporate sector. Non-profit organizations and governmental agencies face similar challenges.
The Global Mindset Inventory (GMI) is the premier assessment tool developed by Najafi Global Mindset Institute specifically for non-profits and governmental agencies to assist them in determining a global leader’s ability to be better prepared for the opportunities, risks and challenges that come from working with the cultures of the world.
Pinpoint Global Influencers
Non-profit organizations and government agencies are increasingly facing global opportunities and challenges. They need officials, managers and leaders who can influence people and organizations from other cultural backgrounds. Having a strong Global Mindset profile is a proven predictor of success in global leadership positions.
"(the GMI) not only helped me assess and evaluate my own global preparedness, but got me thinking how to help others".
