In an age crying out for responsible global leaders, we business school educators bear a critical role in their development. For the last 30+ years I have watched with great pride the rigorous and committed scholarship of Mendenhall, Osland, and their colleagues as they have worked meticulously to define global leadership and explain how to develop it. All of us working to train the leaders of tomorrow are forever in their debt. Nakiye A. Boyacigiller, Sabanci University, Turkey
