The key to our success and the main value we create for members is through our worldwide team. And so Global Chamber® is looking for talented, passionate and effective global leaders to join us and to help our members grow.
Overall Global Chamber® is setting up Executive Directors, Global Advisors, Deputy Directors and Regional Directors in 525 metro areas around the world to work with executives to help them grow business across metros and borders.
Our best team members have the six characteristics below.
Do you fit the mold? Do you know someone like this in your metro area? Let us know!
1) She/he is comfortable with global business. They know how business works and have been involved with cross-border business. They're comfortable working with top executives.
2) She/he is well-connected and a connector. They know nearly everyone and are adept at connecting people to the right other people. They're organized, respectful, well-respected and smart. Because 'connecting' is more than making introductions. Our people know what to do.
3) She/he is an entrepreneur, handling multiple roles well. They usually have another business they're managing and that's perfectly OK to juggle... in fact, our best Executive Directors thrive in this world, leveraging one business with another... creating win-win-win situations constantly.
4) She/he is responsive and has good operational abilities. They know how to prioritize, lead and get things done. They take responsibility and communicate well to the people they are working with... including our global team. They keep plenty of balls in the air, juggling them successfully.
5) She/he enjoys selling and is a good salesperson. They don't necessarily 'love' sales, but they are passionate and persistent to articulate and deliver the value proposition. They build a tribe of followers based on their passion and capabilities. They follow-up and get sales done.
6) She/he is comfortable leading within their region. They love their metro and wish to stay there for the foreseeable future. And so part of what drives them is the advancement of success of companies, organizations and the cities themselves. They are and become a regional leader.
Our team is full of people around the world that you can know, like and trust.
Executive Directors set up our chapters. They often have another business or two that they effectively handle while ramping up their chapter. They are multi-taskers, business and community leaders, and pretty amazing people... one in a million.
Global Advisors help us find Executive Directors and fill in the connecting role until an Executive Director is set up for the metro area.
Deputy Directors support the success of the chapters... with business service, selling and operational support.
