ABSTRACT
Nothing is more mysterious than another person’s worldview. Each of us has one or more. Each of us believes our worldview expresses reality. And, indeed nothing determines success in leading across cultures more than one’s worldview. Remember that your choice is not between no framework and having one in mind, but between a considered framework and a framework that is unknown to you. The first step in improving potential as a global leader is to understand one’s own worldview and the probable worldviews of those ones expect to lead. This research addresses the following research questions: (1) How can one measure global leadership potential? And (2) What are developmental areas of concern when preparing individuals for global leadership? These important research questions are being addressed by a global leader quotient (GLQ) that can serve as the beginning benchmark for assessment, strategic development, and continuous learning.
KEYWORDS
