Synopsis

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.

This new edition of Global Leadership is a must-read for professionals and students who are interested in keeping abreast of how to lead in the global context. Authored by some of the field's top scholars, the book is far ranging in its treatment, and includes the latest thinking on global leadership trends and best practices. Allen Morrison, Thunderbird School of Global Management, Arizona State University, USA

This book provides a comprehensive review and integration of existing research in the field of global leadership, as well as showing the implications of this research for creating global leaders in all types of organizations. Importantly, the authors also propose a new global leadership typology that provides a path forward to understand better this complex and increasingly important domain of research and practice. Schon Beechler, INSEAD, France

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
