Effective global leadership requires a global mindset
Abstract

Findings
Global leadership development must be driven by an organization's global business strategy. Having “global” experiences at work does not guarantee effective global leadership. The acquisition of a true global mindset enables leadership effectiveness in a global capacity. As cultural and business complexity increase so does the demand for a global mindset, almost exponentially given the intersect of this complex environment.
Practical implications
Methods for global leadership development include examination, education, experience and exposure.
Originality/value
The paper provides a fresh perspective.
