Welcome to MGCR 222, at McGill University (2008 Edition)! Welcome to Intensive Organizational Behavior and Management Trainee Program at your dream company.
Transdisciplinary Thinking and Visionary Brainstorming Meetings
for professionals and graduates preparing for the 21st century
in cosmopolitan and multicultural Montreal
The brand of this year’s seminar is “GL2”: “Global Learning and Global Leadership Academy”.
Our theme this year is “Global Vision, Social Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Success”.
During the course of seven weeks, we will have intensive brainstorming sessions, professional development workshops and executive training programs to help you and your colleagues to develop and apply OB knowledge as well as management and leadership skills for your career in the 21st century.
This is not a traditional course, but more a rich global learning platform and a rewarding dynamic learning network. We will not limit ourselves within a traditional discipline; instead we will have transdisciplinary, innovative and futuristic perspectives on human behavior, organizations and management.
In today’s global, rapidly changing knowledge based economy, learning about human systems and organizational behavior is one of the smartest investments you can make for your future. In this course, I am seeking professionals who are bright, passionate, willing to take initiative, care about developing themselves and yet also care about their colleagues, community, and the world.
The course draws from a new and exciting paradigm called Positive Organizational Scholarship, the core premise of which is(http://www.bus.umich.edu/Positive/) that management and leadership excellence is fundamentally tied to creating/enabling organizational contexts that build human strengths and unlock the positive and generative dynamics of vibrant human communities. We will not limit ourselves within a traditional discipline; instead we will have transdisciplinary and futuristic perspectives on human behavior, organizations and management.
This is an integrative, innovative, and interdisciplinary course. It is meant to be a transformational, positive, enriching and rewarding experience for all of us. But this all depends on our assumptions, attitudes and collective effort. If you want to gain the maximum from this experience, focus on your independent learning for your career. Be engaged and involved. Make this course useful and helpful for your own goals and life. Go beyond this class and this course. Be creative and innovative. Create breakthrough projects and ideas for the future. Sharpen your skills. Challenge yourself. Bring your best contribution to the table. Let us learn from each other. What you get from this program all depends on what you put into this.
In this course, I am seeking professionals who are bright, creative, passionate, willing to take initiative, care about developing themselves and yet also care about their colleagues, community, and the world. We will work on real-life projects to enhance the mutually beneficial partnership between the world and McGill. Our motto is creating and developing together. Welcome to our global learning network!
This beautiful city of Montreal, one of the most cosmopolitan, creative and multicultural cities in the world, is a wonderful place to explore, learn, develop, and reflect for the 21st century. McGill University is the perfect spot for learning and thinking about the 21st century global business issues as Canada's most internationally diverse university with brightest students coming from 140 countries. We are indeed lucky.
This summer, something will change in your life!
Be ready for continuous learning, creative thinking, collective visioning and collaborative working!
I wish you all the best in your future dreams and goals.
