Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the skill set - and mindset - that great global leaders must have to succeed. What is global leadership? It turns out that many companies around the world are missing a key point: that global leadership is distinctly different from the leadership skills needed in a domestic operation. The global economy requires a new set of leadership skills-imbued with a global mindset, multi-functional and effective across cultures and nationalities-that were not as critical even a decade ago. In What Is Global Leadership?, the authors draw on cutting-edge research conducted by Aperian Global, including first-hand interviews with successful global leaders, which highlights ten key behaviors critical to international settings, such as cultural self-awareness, frame-shifting, and developing "third-way solutions." In addition to providing a detailed description of each behavior, the authors demonstrate how these can be applied in the context of leadership development programs, executive coaching, global teams, and leader-led action learning. Whether one is leading an entire organization, a business unit, or a geographically dispersed team, this essential guide provides an important resource for developing global leadership talent.

Download or read book Global Explorers written by J. Stewart Black and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this age of globalization challenges--from economic uncertainty to emerging markets--there are no mapped out answers for the international manager. Global Explorers guides the global manager from the periphery to the center stage of international business leadership. In a 1997 survey of Fortune 500 firms conducted by authors J. Stewart Black, Allen J. Morrison and Hal B. Gregersen, virtually all companies indicated there was a severe shortage of global leaders. The demand for competent global leaders far outstrips the supply. Global Explorers provides the skills and outlines the competencies future global managers need to fill the leadership gap. Using extensive research, real-life examples, and 130 in-depth interviews with senior executives representing 50 global companies, including IBM, Disney, Exxon and Sony, Global Explorers suggests the reasons for the global leadership shortage, and identifies the necessary skills to compete in the international marketplace. For managers who want to safeguard their corporate future in these changing times, Global Explorers will help them develop a personal program for developing and balancing the skills they need to become successful global leaders.

Download or read book Global Leadership written by Gama Perruci and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the empirical study of leadership dates back a century, leadership within a global context is a new focus in the literature. This book argues that the ever-expanding forces of globalization have given rise to a new category of leader - the Global Leader - separate from other types of leaders (local, national, international). While international leaders represent their respective countries on the world stage (e.g., country representatives at the United Nations), the global leader works transnationally through global issues and organizations (e.g., Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Prize winner who has become a global champion of K-12 education for girls). As globalization breaks down socioeconomic and political barriers, and transnational issues become more salient, global leaders are becoming more visible players on the world stage. From executives of multinational corporations to activists in nongovernment agencies, individuals from many different backgrounds and ages are leading the way in reshaping the way we see global leadership. These global leaders have to contend with a variety of transnational contexts that call for different leadership styles. This book assesses four of these - transactional, participatory, transformational, and autocratic - but it is not simply a theoretical examination of leadership styles. It also introduces the reader to practical skills that global leaders must master in order to be more effective at the transnational level - a global mindset, embracing diversity, conflict resolution, team building, intercultural communication, and adapting to change.

In Being Global, Cabrera and Unruh define a new context for global leadership, vividly illustrating both the challenges and the opportunities facing today’s executives. How can you be effective? What new skills must you learn in order to be successful? What do international teams do to stay connected while still producing results on a regional scale? Being Global is written for leaders at all levels of their careers—whether in big business or small, private sector or government—who aspire to think and act globally and who need some help getting there. Being a global citizen is just the starting point. Cabrera and Unruh provide the tools and guidance to help you develop even deeper leadership skills, to benefit both you and your organization.
