What Is Global Leadership? ─ 10 Key Behaviors of Great Global Leaders

Arguing that global leadership differs from domestic leadership, Gundling (business, U. of California Berkeley) et al., who are currently or formerly associated with a company that helps clients develop strategic global approaches to leadership, organization development, and relationships with business partners, enumerate ten key behaviors that global leaders need: cultural self-awareness, inviting the unknown, results through relationships, frame-shifting, expanding ownership, developing future leaders, adapting and adding value, core values and flexibility, influencing across boundaries, and developing "third way solutions." Examples and tips from global leaders are interspersed throughout, and chapters are included on training, coaching, and teams in the context of these behaviors, as well as leader-led action learning.
