GlobThink

Globthink is a personal blog of an MBA student at Chicago Booth. As I explain in my profile, my whole life has been determined by my aspiration to become international. For the last 7 years, I have been living out of my home country, Spain, and have had many enriching experiences that have shaped my personality. I consider myself an international person. I have what we could call an “international asset”, my international experience, which I would like to apply to something: something useful to others and something that I can live on (because I need to live). But the question is: How? Where? With whom? When? Why? This is what this blog is about.

I would like to discuss the vision, mission and values of this blog.

Vision

A world in which people from different cultures and countries live, understand and collaborate with each other in fair terms and for the common benefit.

Mission

To explore and share ways in which an international mindset can be applied to business and society and set these ideas in motion.

Values

• Open-mindedness: Being international is about accepting other points of view and about forgetting about stereotypes.
• Integration: Being international is about being integrated in your country as well as in other countries. Being international is not refusing where you come from.
• Leadership without Authority: Being international is about leading people from different cultures and countries. This leadership is based on motivation, inspiration and empowerment but not based on authority. It is not about becoming a planetary dictator.
• Effort: Being international takes efforts. It is not easy. It is not just about having fun. You need to dedicate time and efforts to be able to understand other peoples and cultures
• Idealism: Being international is about generating and implementing ideas that change the world. You really need to be an idealist and an intellectual person.
• Generosity: Being intellectual is about giving back to society. It is about doing something for others.
