Beskrivning
The clash of cultures, coupled with rapid technological advances, seems to be pushing us in paradoxical directions. On the one hand, the world seems to be falling apart; while on the other, the world seems to be converging. Do we have thoughtful leaders to guide us through these uncertain times? As globalization breaks down barriers, global leaders are becoming more visible players on the world stage. From executives of multinational corporations (e.g., high-tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley) to social activists (e.g., Malala Yousafzai), individuals from many different cultural backgrounds and ages are reshaping the way we see global leadership. These global leaders have to contend with a variety of transnational contexts that call for different leadership styles. This book assesses four of these styles – transactional, participatory, transformational, and directive – with representative case studies for each. It provides practical skills that global leaders must master in order to be more effective at the transnational level – cultivating a global mindset; developing intercultural communication; leveraging diversity and inclusion; and managing intercultural conflict. Global Leadership is valuable reading for educators in undergraduate and graduate leadership programs; practitioners involved in global for-profit and nonprofit organizations; and leadership educators interested in exploring the impact of technology on global leadership. It provides an excellent balance between the study and practice of global leadership.

With organizations increasingly global in purpose, scope, and ownership, leaders are of necessity learning to operate across great cultural and market divides. Raised in one tradition but now required to work in many, company managers, movement activists, and public officials are wise to read Gama Perruci’s Global Leadership: A Transnational Perspective, a powerful playbook for leveraging diversity and leading everywhere. Michael Useem, management professor and director of the Leadership Center at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and co-author of Mastering Catastrophic Risk. This remarkable book brings us to the cutting edge of the polymorphous study of leadership. It presents a research-based typology for understanding the nuances of leading in a global context. Transnational problems like poverty, pollution, migration, pandemics and rogue leaders can no longer be solved locally. They call for an enlarged concept of global leadership and this book offers it, by expanding our views as well as challenging received ideas. This is a book for everyone interested in leadership in the new world. Georgia Sorenson, Ph.D., Churchill College, Cambridge University Global Leadership solves the riddle for how to think about leading today with a global mindset. Perruci is one of the few theorists whose life experience and expertise offers the credibility to take on one of the most complicated and needed topics in leadership studies. From now on, when I am asked "so what do we know about global leadership?" I will recommend this book. Adam Goodman, Center for Leadership & McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern UniversityThe dominant models and theories of the past aren't working in our increasingly globalized world. In Global Leadership, Perruci presents a timely and powerful message for all who study, develop and practice leadership. The practical, cultural and ethical lenses offered by Global Leadership will help leaders sense and act in response to rapidly shifting perspectives, emergent systems and ever-changing needs and challenges. Stephen Trainor, The Google School for Leaders
