Abstract

Globalization has led to cultural change, convergence, and a rise in multinational organizations. Leaders who can work effectively across nations and cultures are in demand. Today's global leaders face increased complexity due to the need for cultural sensitivity and knowledge of other countries (House et al., 2004). Competent global leaders who can effectively navigate cross-cultural boundaries are more vital to the success of multinational organizations than in previous decades (Ang & Inkpen, 2008). Multinational organizations struggle in determining what knowledge, skills, and abilities are needed to develop competent global leaders (Caligiuri, 2006) for the 21st century. Many organizations understand that competent leadership will lead to a competitive business advantage and have begun focusing leadership programs on developing competencies for global leadership (Bird, 2008). This chapter considers the importance that personality traits, emotional, social, and cultural intelligence play in developing global leaders. It offers leaders an assessment tool for self-reflection and personal inquiry development.
