Abstract

The rapid expansion of globalization in all types of businesses and organizations has forced researchers and practitioners to consider new paradigms of leadership (Robinson & Harvey, 2008). In fact, Muczyk and Holt (2008) reported that 85 per cent of Fortune 500 executives say that their firms do not currently have enough competent individuals to lead effectively in the present global environment. Many authors (e.g. Livers, 2007) agree that leading globally requires a fundamental shift in terms of thinking and behaving, but to date most researchers and practitioners have focused only on understanding and developing clearly defined skill sets or competency-based frameworks on which to base their leadership development strategies, programmes and initiatives (Byrne & Rees, 2006; Kowske & Anthony, 2007; Noel & Dotlich, 2008; Tubbs & Schulz, 2006). A compelling question arises: Will present strategies be enough to develop new leaders with the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for this dynamic, complex and challenging environment?
