As business landscape changes due to globalization, organizations are seeking new and innovative ways to remain competitive and one of the ways is practice of effective leadership. The purpose of this empirical qualitative study is therefore to (i) explore how globalization affects leadership by identifying the changes and challenges that leaders face, and (ii) identify the essential skills and competencies required to be an effective leader in this era of globalization. This qualitative study employs in-depth interview conducted with four executive level leaders (domestic and expatriate) who lead in multifunctional and multidimensional organizations. Content analysis was used as a tool for analyzing the data. The study reveals that effective leadership in this era requires leadership skills and competencies that are responsive to the global and cross-cultural dimensions of the global context. The study also provides insights into global leadership competency from the view of expatriate and domestic leaders which is lacking in current literature. Whilst acknowledging the significance of Bird's (2013) three themes of competencies (as cited in Mendenhall et al., 2013) - skills business and organizational competencies, managing self-competencies and managing people and relationship competencies - the study reveals the latter as crucial regardless of the leader's primary operation - domestic, international or global. In respect to this, maintaining trust and being culturally sensitive in particular are seen as very important for global leaders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
