The document discusses different types of global leadership roles based on two dimensions: task complexity and relationship complexity. It identifies four main types of leadership roles - incremental, operational, connective, and integrative - that vary according to where they fall on the spectrum of these two dimensions. Each role type is defined and an example role is provided. The implications are that selection and training should be tailored to the specific demands of each global leadership role type. As leaders take on more complex roles, understanding their leadership profile can help improve development offerings and evaluate training outcomes.
