It’s hard enough leading a small local team; imagine running a team that stretches across continents!
That’s exactly what global leaders must do. But from what motivates people to varying labor laws, cultures vary wildly around the planet, so leadership styles must adapt with them. How can a global leader do it all?
based on their research and book Global Leadership: Research, Practice and Development, guests Allan Bird and Joyce Osland have some answers. They’re specialists in researching global leadership, and their insights may surprise you!
Here’s what Allan, Joyce, and Maureen cover:
- How do local cultures make a unified company culture so difficult (or easier)?
- What is it about our international world that makes leading globally so challenging? And
- How do we develop leaders who are skilled in managing global changes?
Allan Bird is Senior Professor, OB/HRM at Goa Institute of Management and President of the Kozai Group. Joyce Osland is the Emerita Lucas Endowed Professor of Global Leadership Professor at San Jose State University and a former Senior Partner at the Kozai Group.
