An Exploration of Global Leadership: Culture, Ethics, and Conflict Management

Abstract

Leading in a global environment can be an overwhelming experience. This purpose of this paper was to examine the characteristics and practices that are necessary to lead global organizations today and into the future. It also discussed the characteristics and practices needed by global leaders to develop and maintain a healthy teamwork environment. Conflict management, diversity, organizational culture, and ethics were also explored, including how they help an organization maintain a competitive advantage. However, the literature review revealed a gap in future research to be focused on the correlation between organizational culture and emotional intelligence and their influence on leadership effectiveness.
