GLOBAL LEADERSHIP: Book 16 - THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS INTERACTION SERIES

Leadership is complex, and leadership in a global business is no less complex. To a great extent, the challenge in leadership is to look at what requirements the specific management task poses, and what opportunities it creates, and to be aware of what expectations and ideas are present, for example in the form of cultural values within a given organization. Greater complexity and variation in approaches, work in multiple geographical locations and new and changing demands on the work make it necessary to be able to orientate yourself in what leadership can be and how leadership can be perceived differently, to find a constructive and creative way to perform various leadership tasks. In this book, we present some of the leadership theories and approaches that have dominated research and literature on leadership over the past 50 years.
