The urgency of a deeper understanding of the nature and development of leaders who can be effective across multiple contexts and national boundaries has never been more apparent.

Volume 5 of this series includes chapters on: personality, leadership and globalization; the roles of international experience, experiential learning, and cultural intelligence in developing global leaders; an integrative framework for assessing, coaching and developing global leaders; developing balanced global leadership teams; leadership in strategic alliances; leadership in the Mid-East, Korea and Europe; leadership and environmental scanning; and, ethical leadership. Authors of this title come from China, Ireland, Korea, Singapore, U.K. and USA.

About this title

Review:

I admire the fact that Advances in Global Leadership is meeting its goal of giving voice to non-Western as well as Western authors and is offering interesting and useful chapters from both practitioners and academics. Volume 6 continues this valued contribution toward a better understanding of leading across borders.

Anne S. Tsui, Ph.D. Motorola Professor of International Management,Arizona State University

In my leadership role covering many developing markets in Asia Pacific, The Middle East, Africa and the Americas, I continuously see the need for talent that can lead across culture and other boundaries. The Advances in Global Leadership series provides me with valuable insights into global leadership. In Volume 6, I found the chapters on Global Mindset, leading innovation across cultures, sustainablity and social networking to be particularly valuable.

Frank Rexach, Vice President & General Manager,Asia Pacific, The Middle East, Africa and Latin America, Haworth

As both an academic and practitioner, I find the selection of papers and content in Advances in Global Leadership to be of tremendous value. They are helpful in various settings - whether teaching my MBA students in the U.S. or China, or with my corporate clients in various parts of the world. Volume 6 continues this excellent cross-cultural learning for those of us involved in developing international leaders.

Roman Henson, Ph.D. International MBA Executive Faculty, Rutgers University

As a co-editor and contributor to earlier volumes in this series, I appreciate the Volume 6 continuation of blending conceptual, empirical and practitioner perspectives from both Western and non-Western authors. It is only by looking through all these lenses that we can hope to understand the challenges of leading across boundaries. --Morgan W. McCall, Jr., Ph.D. Professor of Management and Organization, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California
