Global Leadership and the Impact of Globalization

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to address the impact of globalization on global leadership and the necessary skills and practices needed to effectively lead globally. To help resolve many of the issues created by globalization, global leaders need the leadership skills and practices necessary for leading effectively in a globalized environment. Transformational leadership was identified as capable of reaching across cultures to enhance organizational performance and drive change in a global environment. However, the literature review demonstrated a gap in future research to be focused on how transcultural leadership can be used by organizational leaders in a globalized environment
