Abstract/Description

Global Motors: Navigating the Leadership Crisis Amidst Expansion explores the challenges faced by a high-performing automotive export company as it embarks on an ambitious growth journey. Known for its strong internal promotion culture and low turnover, Global Motors finds its leadership pipeline ill-prepared to meet the demands of rapid expansion. With 30 managerial roles urgently needing to be filled — and external hiring off the table — the company faces a strategic dilemma. The case examines the limitations of its current performance management system, the strain on internal development, and the cultural risks of evolving leadership models. It invites students to assess organizational alignment, recommend sustainable leadership development strategies, and balance growth with cultural integrity under pressure.
