One of the first things organizations needed to know to find and develop global leaders was the answer to the this question: “What are the most important competencies or skills that are necessary for success as a global leader?” It turned out there were quite a few, and that they could be roughly divided into two domains: “technical/professional competencies and skills” and “competencies associated with connecting and relating with people who differ culturally” from the leader. I have focused mainly on conducting research about the latter dimension of global leadership, and below are a list of publications and presentations that address the intercultural competencies that are associated with global leadership:
