"Global leadership is frequently talked about in daily conversation as an abstract phenomenon, but global leadership comes with scholarly grounding and has some specifics to it that exist separately from traditional leadership studies on servant leadership, transformational leadership, and charismatic leadership, and the like. Global leadership is leadership to a hypercomplex, daily, global extreme, with ever-present, cross-cultural challenges. Global leaders can operate at different levels and come from almost any business discipline in the private or public sector. CEOs, chief financial officers, product officers, HR leaders, technology executives, procurement personnel, compliance officers, and government administrators can all be global leaders. But not everyone is a global leader, and not all global leadership roles are created equally. This book is a high-level guide to the nature of the global leaders work in practice across sectors. It is intended to show students and their professors a practical side to the practice of global leadership in its various forms, mixed with numerous anecdotes, case studies, and a healthy dose of underlying scholarly theory. Topics will cross into the realms of followership, global talent management, customer experience, communication, ethics, crisis leadership, and sustainability, inspired by some of the most frequently mentioned courses required of global leadership students from a sample of university degree programs.

The scope will include business, nonprofit, and non-elected government operations"-- Provided by publisher.
