Abstract

Global business equates for billions and billions in revenue. Yet, global business brings a diverse complexity with the nature of its operations. In order for businesses to operate on a global scale, leaders must have the ability and wherewithal to understand environments of this magnitude. Chameleon leaders embody traits that give them the knowledge and style to serve on a global scale. Chameleon leaders are adaptive and blend into diverse work environments while creating a conducive environment that promotes equity and inclusion, to promote successful and impactful leadership. Chameleons do not change their core, but they do have the mechanisms to alter their dimensions to blend in and to survive in unfamiliar environments. Chameleon leaders maneuver in a similar fashion by blending into new or different environments while maintaining the core values and traits that accompany their leadership style. Most organizations operate domestically and globally, so it is crucial to fabricate leaders who can lead and thrive in global surroundings. Chameleon leaders can emerge when businesses ensure that leaders lead with seven key core competencies.
