Abstract: To be able to lead organizations in a global era, there is a requirement for managers to adapt a new managerial mindset which is popular called a global mindset. In this mindset, managers are demanded to have an ability to see unpredictable trends of the global business. Moreover, they have to be able to take an opportunity from that uncertainty to reach the organizational goals. The main idea of the global mindset is the ability to combine the speed in analyzing phenomena and the accuracy to respond them. The global mindset can not only can be implemented in the term of individual, but more importantly- also can be implemented in the organizational level. The global mindset is not something given, but it can be learned, be transferred, and also be built; although this process is not simple. To achieve a competitive advantage in the global competition, organizations are demanded to have will and ability in formulating some variables to stimulate global character; both in individual and organizational perspective.
