Guide to Global Leadership

Guide to Global Leadershipis a practical, accessible guide to the distinct challenges of leading across borders and cultures. Unlike more traditional leadership approaches, such as transformational or servant leadership, this book defines global leadership as a discipline rooted in navigating complexity, cultural nuance, and rapid change. It's for leaders at all levels and across sectors, from CEOs and HR leaders to compliance officers and public administrators, who need to communicate, adapt, and lead effectively in a global environment.

Drawing on case studies, real-world examples, and research-backed insights, the book bridges theory with application. Topics include global talent strategy, ethics, cross-cultural communication, sustainability, crisis leadership, and more. Reflecting curricula from leading academic programs, this book is an essential resource for students, educators, and professionals looking to build the skills needed to lead with impact in corporate, nonprofit, and public-sector contexts.
