Your paper Will better orient the reader if you created subheadings from the following questions to address your topic:
Identify an applied topic in the field of global leadership studies and develop a question. Explain your choice of topic:
How does it relate to the field of global leadership?
Is it an applied topic and why?
Why do we need to know about this phenomenon?
Write a 5-sentence argument that relates to your topic including the following: identifying a statement, reasoning, and evidence for your argument.
The world as we know it is constantly in a state of change and still changing fast. Majority of the changes experienced are not technically bad, however, they have come with diverse rooms for adjustment, and are not suggestive, but necessary if we are to survive the waves of new ones happening around us by the second?. Before now, our distinctive features are what separate us, and pushing us apart, as people, organizations, and as countries (Setyaningrum, 2017). However, these distinctive and unique features have become a strength, bridging the gaps between usus, and causing us to rely and depend on one another (Tran, 2012). Now, as much as the strengths are not new, their discoveries or the potential buried in them are becoming more obvious and showcased for the world to see. This is true in every aspect of life, but more especially in the business and leadership world. One thing difficult to deny is, result. Quality leadership is obvious, and people will gravitate towards them, as we are in a global world where there is visibility, we are able to see leadership with results around us. So also in the business world, businesses are spreading their tentacles even at a faster rate (Setyaningrum, 2017). With the above reasons, we can see that there is a global leadership gap to be field.
Furthermore, global interdependent organizational leadership is an applied topic, as you will see throughout this paper, series of specific and really practicalpractical issues affecting the world at large due to interdependency of our world and organizations. We will also see, some very practical ways to resolve these issues. TThere are multiple reasons why businesses are moving to different countries, to mention just a few, changing business needs, lack or availability of skills set, cost of access to these skills, lack or availability of labor, mechanization, national policy, ease of business, cost of doing business, the demand of business, product or service, new targeted business, or consumer and so on (Chitakornkijsil, 2010).

Global leadership can be considered as emerging. The emerging nature of global leadership has attracted numerous inputs from diverse and multidisciplinary dimensions. The growth in interest in global leadership can serve as a curse or as a blessing to its promising but young and relatively naïve and open field. Per a review of the literature on global leadership, various distinctions point to the understanding that cultural dynamic involving multiculturalism, cross-cultural, intercultural, and cultural differences are critical to the understanding and advancement of global leadership towards global leadership competencies, effectiveness and so forth. As such, this understanding is expected to underscore the conceptualization and practice of global leadership going forward.
New Meanings in Global Leadership Competence: Discovering Approaches of Conceptualizing and Operationalizing Multicultural Leadership in Global Occupational Settings
Cultural dynamic-cultural diversity, intercultural, cross-cultural, and multicultural-is increasing in its criticality towards global leadership competencies and effectiveness (Mendenhall, Osland, Bird, Oddou, & Maznevski, 2008). Leaders within organizations oriented towards multiculturalism are expected to be multiculturally competent (Canen, & Canen, 2008). These leaders are, for example, required to be multiculturally accountable towards the institutionalizing of cultural flexibility and diversity (Canen, & Canen, 2008). Moreover, multiculturally competent leadership has been identified as a potential source of conflict management in organizations (Canen, & Canen, 2008). Globally oriented companies are also cautioned to consider as critical and integral to their efforts multicultural leadership (Muna, 2011) if they intend to sustain their global competitive advantage since “multicultural leaders are cosmopolitan and worldly, they have acquired the cultural sensitivity necessary to bridge cultures (even when working within the same country) and can conduct business effectively across national borders” (Muna, 2011, p. 90). In addition to the criticality of effective global leadership to the success of global organizations (Butler, Zander, Mockaitis, & Sutton, 2012; Tung & Varma, 2008, as cited in Lisak & Erez, 2015: Mendenhall et al., 2008) leaders who develop the potential to emerge within a multicultural occupational settings or teams are seen to be more oriented towards global identity, cultural diversity, and cultural intelligence (Lisak & Erez, 2015). Regarding stakeholder issues in organizations, there has arisen the need to manage ethnocentrism and ethnorelativism challenges via ethnopluralism (Snaiderbaur, 2012).
The developments highlighted above are a few of the vast array of growing developments associated with the undeniable growth in stature and impact of globalization and multinational organizations that increasingly pose emerging challenges to leadership and management and ...

Introduction
Global leaders are a rising class of leaders that are capable of working in universal and global connections. Introductory exploration demonstrates that global leaders are a remarkable breed with identifiable attributes (Mendenhall, 2013). They have a particular interest in the world and enthusiasm for individuals is not the same as themselves. This hobby motivates visionary activities and associations that encompass national limits. Besides, genuine global leadership perceives the effect of their activities on surrounding groups and the entire society. They comprehend that individual success is subordinate upon the thriving of others and that they assume a part in changing their organizations, as well as the social orders in which they work. Osland, Oddou, Bird, & Osland, (2013) Shows worldwide pioneers conceived, as well as can make. Global leadership gets to be who they are by developing specific methods for taking a gander at the world, contemplating issues and opportunities and acting with respectability in a quest for arrangements.

Introduction
Leadership has been in place and also undergoing changes based on the changes happening in outside world. With increased globalization, there is the need for leaders to acquire some global competencies. The current workplace is demanding for some emergent practices and there are expectations for digital competencies. In order to survive as a leader, it would be necessary to have a sense of learning and continuous improvement.
In order to create a professional knowledge sharing connection, it requires a kind of trust which will be developed over time and facilitated very effective leadership roles (Cameron & Green, 2008). Therefore, to succeed in the industry, it will be necessary for a leader to set reasonable and measurable goals through focusing on trust, knowledge and credibility together with being updated on changes in global trend affecting leadership roles.
Global leadership concerns for the future
To be a high performance organization, it is necessary to tackle challenges of leadership development with a combined broad thinking. There are quite a number of trends that are linked with leadership. Globalization is the first trend as it is the new business world. This thus requires personnel thinking globally. The trend towards having connected markets will be much stronger. This is because the leaders will be required to understand the cultural, legal, economic, cultural as well as political ramifications (Rothstein & Burke, 2010). Therefore, leaders will be required to see themselves as citizens of the world with expanded field of vision. Leaders will be required to have knowledge on how to effectively manage global producti ...

Discussion #1
Discuss the varied challenges faced by leaders or managers concerning teams made of a diverse workforce. Include considerations such as how some team members might be from different countries or how the teams might meet virtually.
Undoubtedly, globalization has made the diversification of the workforce unavoidable. People with specialties across the world are employed to perform specific functions for organizations. And all these people come together to work as team members. Thus, a team might be composed of employees from within and virtual, and they all perform their functions with different temperaments and attitudes. Gross (2002) described a virtual team as a group who performs its work mostly through electronic technology. Matthews-Joy & Gladstone (2000) added that because the virtual members may be detached both geographically and organizationally, they rely on technology for task-related communication.
One of the challenges is lack of face-to-face interaction. Frequently, leaders and team members cannot depend on voice levels, smiles, and raised eyebrows to ascertain understanding because they rely on technology. There is the need for reliable technological communication strategies to control the situation (Wilson, 2003). It is imperative for leaders to encourage members to be sensitized to the importance of this barrier and how to address it. Another issue is virtual members forming trusting working relationships via technological alone. The challenge is technology not viable in the underdeveloped and developing countries. Therefore, such virtual meetings are mostly chaotic.
For instance, in Ghana, sometimes in the course of working on your assignment, the power goes off. I had it very tough when I started the program. In fact, I had to acquire an inverter to store energy for use when the power went off. Other times it may not be a power problem but the inability to access the Internet. According to Duarte & Snyder (2001), leaders must endeavor to watch members keenly in support of creating positive interpersonal relationships. One other challenge is to be precise about the specialties of members to attain the goal of the organization (Anderson & Shane, 2002). The World Report on Disa ...

In other words, are these leadership theories effective global leadership models? Why or why not? Support your position with global examples and appropriate references.
Week Six Lecture
Global Leadership
One of the most rapidly increasing sources of diversity in organizations is globalization, which means hiring employees in many different countries. Due to globalization, organizations are confronting diversity issues more than ever before. To handle the challenges of global diversity, leaders can develop cross-cultural understandings and build networks.
Consider how behavior is perceived from culture to culture. All leaders need to be aware of the impact a culture and its values have on their dealings with employees. Valuing diversity and enabling all individuals to develop unique talents is difficult to achieve. People of different national origins, races, and religions make up our increasingly global economy. Leaders can create change in organizations that will help the organization remain competitive and viable.
Dimensions of diversity are both primary (age, gender, and race) and secondary (education, marital status, and religion). There are several reasons why organizations are recognizing the need to value and support diversity, including the following: it helps organizations build better relationships with diverse customers; it helps develop employee potential; and it provides a broader and deeper base of experience or creativity in problem-solving, which is essential to the development of learning organizations. Leaders must be aware of the impact culture may have and consider cultural differences in their dealings with followers. Strong, culturally sensitive leadership is the only way organizations can adopt an awareness of diversity.
Reflecting on Leadership
There are many different theories of leadership, and the similarities and differences cannot be understood without exploring their applications to organizations. Many theories are similar to the historical trait or behavior theories and define unique capacities or competencies. Understanding the characteristics and underlying framework of these theories enables leaders to define their own leadership theories based on their world views. Developing a personal theory of leadership requires an understanding of the components of each theory, as well as knowledge of how those components are related or how they may conflict. Leadership research often uses capacity-based instruments that measure a particular leadership approach or style.
Conclusion
The theories of leadership and research in leadership from the past have evolved into the many c ...

THE EMERGING ROLE OF
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
Mostafa Sayyadi Ghasabeh
Claudine Soosay

University of South Australia, Australia
ABSTRACT
This paper presents a literature review of leadership over the years and the emerging role of
transformational leadership. We also argue that this form of leadership is appropriate in the context
of globalized markets, where there is increasing diffusion of goods, services, values and technologies
globally, which results in the convergence of societies toward a uniform pattern of economic,
political and cultural organization. There are various issues and consideration existing in the
leadership literature as “the core of the criticism in the literature is that organisations of all sorts
(corporations, government agencies, and not-for-profit organisations) tend to be over-managed
(and/or over-administrated) and under-led” (Mills 2005, p.19). Mills (2005) highlights the vital
importance of leadership in both political and business areas, and argues that organisations in both
areas, in the absence of effective leadership, are not capable of effectively implementing changes at
the organisational level. This paper adopts a conceptual approach aiming to convey the importance
of transformational leadership amongst other styles. In this paper, we review the role of leadership
in the business area and establish the need to investigate transformational leadership, as an ideal
leadership form in enabling firms to accomplish sustainable competitiveness as they operate in global
markets. Based on the various leadership theories discussed be further argued that leadership is highly
essential for business organisations to achieve a sustained change and eventually higher degree of
effectiveness, especially when operating in global markets. Transformational leadership, comprising
characteristics of idealised influence, individualised consideration, intellectual stimulation, and
inspirational motivation has been found to have implications for higher leadership effectiveness in
new market environments and production locations. Various empirical studies highlighted
transformational leadership as an enabler of innovation. To demonstrate the role of transformational
leadership in organizational innovation, it can be argued that these leaders facilitate the generation
of new knowledge and ideas through applying intellectual stimulation aspect that motivates
employees to approach organizational problems in a more novel approach. Accordingly, we establish
the appropriateness of transformational leadership as a managerial-based, output-based as market-
based competency for firms in globalized markets. We conclude by providing suggestions and scope
for empirical investi.

to 63,000 (Gabel, Medard and Bruner, 2003).
During that same time period, multinationals
in the United States created 31 percent of the
country’s growth in private-sector real GDP
and 41 percent of labor productivity gains
(McKinsey Global Institute, June 2010).
Despite the exponential growth (or perhaps
because of it), leaders continue to be unpre-
pared for global contexts. A recent survey of
senior HR executives revealed that a shortage
of global executive talent was the primary
concern in their firm’s global expansion plans

development for leaders. It also defines and
describes each component.
A Whole New Global
Mindset for Leadership
In 1969, Howard Perlmutter was among the
first researchers to point out that running suc-
cessful global operations required a whole
new mindset. This gives pause for reflection.
How did this mindset differ from status quo
leadership? Perlmutter found that global
leaders needed to navigate increased com-
plexity in organizational culture, management
practices and recruitment of top talent (1969)
— the very domains human resources profes-
sionals are charged with developing. This
holds true today. Global leadership is excit-
ing, challenging and certainly complex (see
Exhibit 1). It has only been recently, however,
that the whole new mindset to which Perl-
mutter referred was scientifically defined by
the Najafi Global Mindset Institute at Thun-
derbird School of Global Management.
Are Your Leaders
Prepared for Global
Complexities?
Before we dive into the specifics of Global
Mindset, take a moment to assess the global
leadership needs in your own organization
(see Exhibit 2). Chances are that your orga-
nization is touched by global complexities,
even if it does not have geographically dis-
persed operations.
In the past 40 years, both the number and
impact of multinational companies grew
exponentially. Between 1990 and 2003 alone,
the number of multinational corporations
throughout the world increased from 3,000
Global leaders need to navigate increasing complexity in organizational culture, management
practices and recruitment of top talent — the very domains human resources professionals are
charged with developing. This requires a whole new mindset for leadership: Global Mindset.

Leadership Styles and Organisational Performance in Nigeria: Qualitative Pers...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Organizations in different sectors of the Nigerian economy continue to record high cases of misappropriation, embezzlement, immoral and unethical practices, gratifications, high labour turnover, inability to meet basic required obligations, and employees’ dissatisfaction, which have further resulted in poor performance. The theoretical paper dwelled on the concepts of leadership styles as opined by several scholars in the literature and used these as springboards to arrive at elaborate ones that encapsulated all and introduced a range of common and contemporary models and approaches, including an addition of a cutting-edge competitive list to help managers discover, devise and adjust their individual management practice and style for navigation towards a sustainable organizational performance.

Main focus of this study is exploring the Intergovernmental and Nongovernmental Organizations’ employees leadership perceptions based on differences of their cultural, national, educational, experience. The reason of studying in this sector; contains variety of cultural background and international experienced staff .Research has been done Gaziantep in Turkey because many UN agencies and NGO’s are operating in Gaziantep based on current situation in Syria armed conflict. Also this kind of organizations are specialized for emergency situations, development strategies and humanitarian aid at worldwide so we have to take in to account how hard it is managing these issues globally. We found some evidence that affecting leadership perceptions which are related participant experience, foreign language and education level and details are provided on discussion section.

Global leadership entails leading a diverse group of people in an acceptable manner to all members of the group. However, global leadership despite being important is not something that leaders are born having, but something that is learned and gained and the main focus of the article is to determine how global leadership is developed.
According to the selected article by Hassanzadeh, et al., (2015); developing global leadership is important and it is something that any person aspiring to be a leader should learn and embrace. The more reason is that the world is becoming a mixed race and multicultural which means leaders have to learn on how to deal and work with people from cultural diversity. In the article, the problem is effectively stated because the author clearly states that despite the world having a lot of leaders, only a fraction of them can be categorized as global leaders. The authors points out that due to lack of effective global leadership, people in groups, organizations, and societies are divided across ethnic and racial lines and the consequences are dire (Hassanzadeh, et al., 2015). This is a highly theoretical rational statement that proves it is important for a research to be conducted to develop solutions to the problem.
To make the problem statement clear, the authors have made use of literature review which is highly relevant and sources from which the information has been borrowed perfectly cited. For instance, the authors demonstrates how past researchers and authors found out about global leadership. One clear thing is that global leadership is developed and learned, but not inborn. Apart from literature review, the authors have made use of primary research method to address the problem statement. In this case, qualitative research method is used where in depth interviews and a pilot study have been used (Hassanzadeh, et al., 2015). Participants were used to respond to interview questions and people with global leadership knowledge were carefully selected.
The article has a clear hypothesis of whether it is possible to develop global leadership abilities and characteristics in leaders which is clearly stated. Errors are sometimes inevitable; however, in this case, it is not clear when it comes to presence of errors. In the data analysis section of the article, the author has made use qualitative data analysis technique. Using the technique, data has been analyzed resulting to findings and results (Hassanzadeh, et al., 2015). From the analyzed data, one major result is that development of global leadership is a reality. However, it is a lengthy process that needs attention and ample resources. The article research also found out that even the present day glob ...

The present report mainly deals with the aspects of cultural diversity as well as the management issues which are formed while considering the cultural diversity. The general business scenario observed in the hospitality and tourism industry is also well explained along with the related areas of motivation and leadership as well. The entire globe is getting reshaped or restructured by the advancements in the field of technology and science as well. These scientific as well as technological developments have also resulted in the reshaping of the processes of business also. The productivity as well as the bottomline of the process of business have also been elevated to a great extent. The attributes like fast pace, potentials, accuracy etc have been enhanced with the introduction of technological advancements, which became reasons for the enhancement in the productivity of the business (Stephanie, 2012).

Development:
J ^ a í Global Organizations Can Do to Reduce
Lead^hip Risk, Increase Speed to Competence,
and Build Global Leadership Mi
By Steve Terrell and Katherine Rosenbusch
Globalization, the ongoing process of interdependence and integration of economies, societies,
and cultures that occurs through a worldwide network of global communication and trade, has
rapidly developed over the past 25 years to the point where it is a reaiity today (Mendenhall,
Osland, Bird, Oddou, & Maznevski, 2008). It has become widely accepted that "the world is
at once borderless, multicultural and a burgeoning hybrid of cultures. Expanded tourism, the
dissemination of pop culture, global migration, Internet communities—all these have led to
unprecedented worldwide connectedness" (Rosen, Digh, Singer, & Phillips, 2000, p. 22).
Not only is it true that "the world isfiat" (Friedman, 2005, p. 5), but theworld is also one of "...high chaos
and continuous change" (Marquardt &
Berger, 2000, p. 1), in which a rapidly grow-
ing number of companies "operate as if the
entire world were a single entity" (Marquardt
& Berger, p. 4). Eormer U.S. Secretary of
Labor Robert Reich (1991) declared in his
book The Work of Nations, "We are living
through a transformation that will rearrange
the pohtics and economics of the coming cen-
tury. There will be no national products or
technologies, no national corporations, no
national industries. There will no longer be
national economies" (p. 3). The reality of
globalization means that the world has
become so interconnected that "the only way
to succeed is by competing with everyone
from everywhere for everything. Starting
now" (Sirkin, Hemerling, &C Bhattaccharya,
2008, p. 20).
This high degree of interconnectedness,
which is being brought about through the
impact of technology on communication,
knowledge creation and information sharing
(Marquardt & Berger, 2000) in today's orga-
nizations, is combining with the chaos and
continuous change of today's business envi-
ronment to create a highly dynamic, complex,
borderless, multicultural context within
which businesses must learn to operate or
suffer the consequences (Rosen et al., 2000).
Thus, the challenge of globalization is that
organizations must "adapt or die" (McCal-
lum, 2001, p. 73); "adaptability will be the
characteristic that ultimately most distin-
guishes successful from unsuccessful
enterprises" (p. 74). Organizations must find
constructive ways to adapt to survive, and the
most adaptable organizations—those that
possess a high degree of dynamic capability
(Winter, 2003)—will be best positioned to
explore the possibilities hidden amid the
chaos and to respond with innovative solu-
tions to the complex challenges they face. The
challenge is daunting for even the best-pre-
pared organizations.
Organizations in the new global context must

Discussion #1
Discuss the varied challenges faced by leaders or managers concerning teams made of a diverse workforce. Include considerations such as how some team members might be from different countries or how the teams might meet virtually.
Undoubtedly, globalization has made the diversification of the workforce unavoidable. People with specialties across the world are employed to perform specific functions for organizations. And all these people come together to work as team members. Thus, a team might be composed of employees from within and virtual, and they all perform their functions with different temperaments and attitudes. Gross (2002) described a virtual team as a group who performs its work mostly through electronic technology. Matthews-Joy & Gladstone (2000) added that because the virtual members may be detached both geographically and organizationally, they rely on technology for task-related communication.
One of the challenges is lack of face-to-face interaction. Frequently, leaders and team members cannot depend on voice levels, smiles, and raised eyebrows to ascertain understanding because they rely on technology. There is the need for reliable technological communication strategies to control the situation (Wilson, 2003). It is imperative for leaders to encourage members to be sensitized to the importance of this barrier and how to address it. Another issue is virtual members forming trusting working relationships via technological alone. The challenge is technology not viable in the underdeveloped and developing countries. Therefore, such virtual meetings are mostly chaotic.
For instance, in Ghana, sometimes in the course of working on your assignment, the power goes off. I had it very tough when I started the program. In fact, I had to acquire an inverter to store energy for use when the power went off. Other times it may not be a power problem but the inability to access the Internet. According to Duarte & Snyder (2001), leaders must endeavor to watch members keenly in support of creating positive interpersonal relationships. One other challenge is to be precise about the specialties of members to attain the goal of the organization (Anderson & Shane, 2002). The World Report on Disa ...

Week Six Lecture
Global Leadership
One of the most rapidly increasing sources of diversity in organizations is globalization, which means hiring employees in many different countries. Due to globalization, organizations are confronting diversity issues more than ever before. To handle the challenges of global diversity, leaders can develop cross-cultural understandings and build networks.
Consider how behavior is perceived from culture to culture. All leaders need to be aware of the impact a culture and its values have on their dealings with employees. Valuing diversity and enabling all individuals to develop unique talents is difficult to achieve. People of different national origins, races, and religions make up our increasingly global economy. Leaders can create change in organizations that will help the organization remain competitive and viable.
Dimensions of diversity are both primary (age, gender, and race) and secondary (education, marital status, and religion). There are several reasons why organizations are recognizing the need to value and support diversity, including the following: it helps organizations build better relationships with diverse customers; it helps develop employee potential; and it provides a broader and deeper base of experience or creativity in problem-solving, which is essential to the development of learning organizations. Leaders must be aware of the impact culture may have and consider cultural differences in their dealings with followers. Strong, culturally sensitive leadership is the only way organizations can adopt an awareness of diversity.
Reflecting on Leadership
There are many different theories of leadership, and the similarities and differences cannot be understood without exploring their applications to organizations. Many theories are similar to the historical trait or behavior theories and define unique capacities or competencies. Understanding the characteristics and underlying framework of these theories enables leaders to define their own leadership theories based on their world views. Developing a personal theory of leadership requires an understanding of the components of each theory, as well as knowledge of how those components are related or how they may conflict. Leadership research often uses capacity-based instruments that measure a particular leadership approach or style.
Conclusion
The theories of leadership and research in leadership from the past have evolved into the many c ...

THE EMERGING ROLE OF
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
Mostafa Sayyadi Ghasabeh

University of South Australia, Australia
ABSTRACT
This paper presents a literature review of leadership over the years and the emerging role of
transformational leadership. We also argue that this form of leadership is appropriate in the context
of globalized markets, where there is increasing diffusion of goods, services, values and technologies
globally, which results in the convergence of societies toward a uniform pattern of economic,
political and cultural organization. There are various issues and consideration existing in the
leadership literature as “the core of the criticism in the literature is that organisations of all sorts
(corporations, government agencies, and not-for-profit organisations) tend to be over-managed
(and/or over-administrated) and under-led” (Mills 2005, p.19). Mills (2005) highlights the vital
importance of leadership in both political and business areas, and argues that organisations in both
areas, in the absence of effective leadership, are not capable of effectively implementing changes at
the organisational level. This paper adopts a conceptual approach aiming to convey the importance
of transformational leadership amongst other styles. In this paper, we review the role of leadership
in the business area and establish the need to investigate transformational leadership, as an ideal
leadership form in enabling firms to accomplish sustainable competitiveness as they operate in global
markets. Based on the various leadership theories discussed be further argued that leadership is highly
essential for business organisations to achieve a sustained change and eventually higher degree of
effectiveness, especially when operating in global markets. Transformational leadership, comprising
characteristics of idealised influence, individualised consideration, intellectual stimulation, and
inspirational motivation has been found to have implications for higher leadership effectiveness in
new market environments and production locations. Various empirical studies highlighted
transformational leadership as an enabler of innovation. To demonstrate the role of transformational
leadership in organizational innovation, it can be argued that these leaders facilitate the generation
of new knowledge and ideas through applying intellectual stimulation aspect that motivates
employees to approach organizational problems in a more novel approach. Accordingly, we establish
the appropriateness of transformational leadership as a managerial-based, output-based as market-
based competency for firms in globalized markets. We conclude by providing suggestions and scope
for empirical investi.

During that same time period, multinationals

country’s growth in private-sector real GDP
and 41 percent of labor productivity gains
(McKinsey Global Institute, June 2010).

because of it), leaders continue to be unpre-

development for leaders. It also defines and

A Whole New Global
Mindset for Leadership
In 1969, Howard Perlmutter was among the
first researchers to point out that running suc-
cessful global operations required a whole
new mindset. This gives pause for reflection.
How did this mindset differ from status quo
leadership? Perlmutter found that global
leaders needed to navigate increased com-
plexity in organizational culture, management
practices and recruitment of top talent (1969)
— the very domains human resources profes-
sionals are charged with developing. This
holds true today. Global leadership is excit-
ing, challenging and certainly complex (see
Exhibit 1). It has only been recently, however,
that the whole new mindset to which Perl-
mutter referred was scientifically defined by
the Najafi Global Mindset Institute at Thun-
derbird School of Global Management.
Are Your Leaders
Prepared for Global
Complexities?
Before we dive into the specifics of Global
Mindset, take a moment to assess the global
leadership needs in your own organization
(see Exhibit 2). Chances are that your orga-
nization is touched by global complexities,
even if it does not have geographically dis-
persed operations.
In the past 40 years, both the number and
impact of multinational companies grew
exponentially. Between 1990 and 2003 alone,
the number of multinational corporations
throughout the world increased from 3,000
Global leaders need to navigate increasing complexity in organizational culture, management
practices and recruitment of top talent — the very domains human resources professionals are
charged with developing. This requires a whole new mindset for leadership: Global Mindset.

Organizations in different sectors of the Nigerian economy continue to record high cases of misappropriation, embezzlement, immoral and unethical practices, gratifications, high labour turnover, inability to meet basic required obligations, and employees’ dissatisfaction, which have further resulted in poor performance. The theoretical paper dwelled on the concepts of leadership styles as opined by several scholars in the literature and used these as springboards to arrive at elaborate ones that encapsulated all and introduced a range of common and contemporary models and approaches, including an addition of a cutting-edge competitive list to help managers discover, devise and adjust their individual management practice and style for navigation towards a sustainable organizational performance.

Main focus of this study is exploring the Intergovernmental and Nongovernmental Organizations’ employees leadership perceptions based on differences of their cultural, national, educational, experience. The reason of studying in this sector; contains variety of cultural background and international experienced staff .Research has been done Gaziantep in Turkey because many UN agencies and NGO’s are operating in Gaziantep based on current situation in Syria armed conflict. Also this kind of organizations are specialized for emergency situations, development strategies and humanitarian aid at worldwide so we have to take in to account how hard it is managing these issues globally. We found some evidence that affecting leadership perceptions which are related participant experience, foreign language and education level and details are provided on discussion section. The question of research is expectations of leadership by multinational organizations employees. We haven’t seen any direct study related for both Intergovernmental and Nongovernmental organizations employees’ perceptions of implicit leadership, for this reason our study may provide contribution to literature.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
