Abstract:
A global leader plays a critical role in today’s marketplace because she is responsible for leading a team of diverse employees and ensuring the organization has a competitive advantage. This is not a job a leader should take lightly because there are inherent challenges that go along with meeting the expectations of her diverse team, the global organization and her customers. A global leader who successfully fills this role must have critical competencies - cultural curiosity, cross-cultural competency, cultural agility, cultural humility, divergent thinking and creativity, and knowledge and integration of cross-national/cultural issues.
