Leadership in the Context of Globalization:The Need for a New Leadership Model
Abstract
The paper aims to critically analyse different aspects of leadership in chaos in complexity through understandings of leadership from different approaches (organisational and global approaches): levels of leadership in association with organisational complexity and its role in building a sustainable organisation; globalization and implications for leadership. Thereby, the paper applies those concepts to identify global leadership competencies which are essential, universal and timeless for effective implementing leadership in the new era. Based on the existing literature as well as the challenges leaders have to face from both approaches, this study proposes an integrative model of leadership in the context of globalization. As a result of being combined between the components of both organisational and global approaches and the identified global leadership competences, the model might be used as a reference model for future studies.
