Recommendation

Management experts Linda D. Sharkey, Nazneen Razi, Robert A. Cooke and Peter Barge acknowledge the common characteristics and competencies of good leaders but argue convincingly that global leaders need additional, unique skills. The authors have sufficient impressive knowledge of global business to write knowingly about global leadership based on their experience alone. Yet this work stands out because they add their analysis of past and new research, including surveys and interviews with some 150 global leaders, and they use that data to test their assumptions. This uncluttered, interesting read includes new, useful and, in one case, even surprising findings. Of course, the authors offer the inevitable global leadership basics, but they present these core concepts in a succinct, relevant way as they build toward a logical, evidence-based framework that features practical tools and guidelines for developing global leaders. getAbstract recommends this book to board members, executives, leadership development experts, HR officers, and actual and aspiring global leaders.

Take-Aways

  • Good domestic leaders are not necessarily good global leaders, who are in short supply.
  • Business now works with lightning speed and increasing complexity. Old models for developing global leaders no longer work; companies need a new framework.
  • Global leaders should have “six facets of intelligence”: “cognitive, business, emotional, cultural, global” and “moral.”
