Global Leadership: Research, Practice, and Development

This text focuses on leading across cultural, economic, social, national, and political boundaries simultaneously. Global Leadership presents the field’s latest studies and practices in a succinct and engaging style that helps scholars, managers, and students grasp the complexities of being a global leader.

The authors begin by explaining the conceptual differences between general leadership and global leadership before examining the various dimensions of the global leadership field, and how it will develop in the future. Users of previous editions will notice that the book has been restructured into five new parts to provide a better conceptual flow. Other new features include:

• A new chapter on talent management and its relationship to global leadership processes.
• Updates to the chapter on global leadership development, including material on international service learning approaches and other "best practice" examples.
• Significant updates to the chapters on responsible global leadership and leading global teams, accounting for recent advances in both disciplines.

This edition will prove a useful guide for graduate students of global leadership, international business, and general leadership classes as well as scholars and managers seeking a thorough understanding of the field today. PowerPoint slides and a list of suggested cases are available to further assist instructors.
