  2. Societal culture and leadership It is critical for leaders to have an understanding of societal culture and the associated beliefs, characteristics and customs. Failure to do so can result in conflicts and misunderstandings. • Societalculture: those learned behaviors characterizing the total way of life of members within any given society.. • The GLOBE Study is the most comprehensive research study ever attempted. It finds its roots in the work of Hofstede.

  3. The GLOBE Study and CLT The GLOBE model posits that relatively distinctive implicit theories of leadership characterize different societal cultures from each other as well as organizational cultures within those societal cultures. The GLOBE researchers called these implicit theories of leadership Culturally Endorsed Implicit Theories of Leadership (CLT).

  4. Six Dimensions of CLT • Charismatic/value-based leadership: the ability to inspire, motivate, and expect high performance from others on the basis of firmly held core values. • Team-oriented leadership: emphasizes effective team building and implementation of a common purpose or goal among team members. • Participativeleadership: degree to which managers involve others in making and implementing decisions.

  5. Six Dimensions of CLT (continued) • Humane-oriented leadership: supportive and considerate leadership as well as compassion and generosity. • Autonomousleadership: independent and individualistic leadership. • Self-protectiveleadership: ensuring the safety and security of the individual or group member.
