  4. Research Approaches of Defining Leadership Source: Bird, Allan, Martha L. Maznevski, Mark E. Mendenhall, Gary R. Oddou, and Joyce S. Osland. "Leadership and the Birth of Global Leadership." Global Leadership: Research, Practice, and Development. London [u.a.: Routledge, 2008. 2-6. Print.

  5. Leadership Behaviors • According to the University of Iowa leadership behaviors (or styles) are: • Autocratic Style: a leader who centralize authority, dictates work methods, makes unilateral decisions, and limits employee participation • Democratic Style: a leader who involves employees in decision making, delegates authority, encourages participation in deciding work methods, and uses feedback to coach employees • Laissez-Faire Style: a leader who generally gives employees complete freedom to make decisions and to complete their work however they see fit

  6. Different Leaders • According to University of Michigan: • Employee Oriented: a leader who emphasizes the people aspects • Production Oriented: a leader who emphasizes the technical or task aspects • Transactional Leaders: leaders who lead primarily by using social exchanges (or transactions) • Transformational Leaders: leaders who stimulate and inspire (transform) followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes

  7. Different Leaders • Charismatic Leaders: enthusiastic, self-confident leaders whose personalities and actions influence people to behave in certain ways • Visionary Leadership: the ability to create articulate a realistic, credible, and attractive vision of the future that improves on the present situation

  8. Global Leadership Competency Assessment Instruments • There are two main models (instruments) used to assess global leader competencies; they are: • Global Competencies Inventory (GCI): assesses three types of competencies: perception management, relationship management, and self management • Global Executive Leadership Inventory: assesses two roles played by the executive: charismatic and architectural Source: Bird, Allan, Martha L. Maznevski, Mark E. Mendenhall, Gary R. Oddou, and Joyce S. Osland. "Assessing Global Leadership Competencies." Global Leadership: Research, Practice, and Development.

  9. GCI: Perception Management • This group includes the following dimensions: • Nonjudgmentalness • Inquisitiveness • Tolerance of Ambiguity • Cosmopolitan • Category of Inclusiveness

  10. GCI: Relationship Management • This group includes the following dimensions: • Relationship Interest • Interpersonal Engagement • Emotional Sensitivity • Self-Awareness • Behavioral Flexibility

  11. GCI: Self Management • This group includes the following dimensions: • Optimism • Self-Confidence • Emotional Resilience • Non-Stress Tendency • Stress Management • Interest Flexibility

  12. Global Executive Leadership Inventory • Here, we examine the charismatic and architectural roles of the leader • This includes the following dimensions: Visioning, Empowering, Energizing, Designing and Aligning, Rewarding and Feedback, Team Building, Outside Orientation, Global Mindset, Tenacity, Emotional Intelligence, Life Balance, and Resilience to Stress

  13. Trust • Trust: the belief on the integrity, character, and ability of a leader • Dimensions of trust: • Integrity: honesty and truthfulness • Competence: technical and interpersonal knowledge and skills • Consistency: reliability, predictability, and good judgement in handling situations • Loyalty: willingness to protect a person, physically and emotionally • Openness: willingness to share ideas and information freely

  14. Learning Outcomes • There are different approaches of defining leadership: trait, behavior, situational, and power-influence • Thus, we describe leaders differently, in terms of charisma, transformation, autocracy... etc. • Domestic and multi-domestic leaders are not global leaders; global leaders are assessed differently • Trust is the essence of leadership
