Download or read book Mapping Global Leadership written by Sander Schroevers and published by CCBS Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CCBS Global Leadership series seeks to compare and contrast leadership styles and practices across the world. Based on country-specific literature reviews, and empirical analyses of survey and interview data with local leadership scholars, management trainers, and writers, our series demonstrates how global leadership skills are wholly distinct from those that are required in the domestic context. In this latest edition, the following countries are examined: Algeria, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Belgium, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Czechia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, France, Guyana, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Moldova, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Tunisia and Uganda. Mapping Global Leadership can help senior executives to create forward momentum within their organisations, remain abreast of the latest developments in global leadership, along with enabling them to successfully operate in unfamiliar cultural settings. It does so by helping leaders navigate the ongoing shift toward culturally-endorsed leadership styles and practices in twenty-four nations.

Based on over ten years of research into motivation and performance, James created Motivational Maps, the first and only accurate diagnostic tool that describes, measures, monitors and maximizes motivation and performance through an easy, simple to use, online questionnaire that takes only 10 minutes to complete, and which readers have access to.
