“…For a global leader it is not only relevant to assess and develop his own intercultural competence (Mendenhall et al, 2017), but also to be aware of the process of team dynamics (Tuckman, 1965), especially in a cross-cultural environment.…”

Global leadership is a buzz word in today's business world. It is not clearly defined however who global leaders are: Do they work abroad or with people from different nationalities? Are they themselves living abroad or having a cross-cultural background? Are they leading virtual or non-virtual teams? Do global leaders exist or is not every leader a global leader in today's world? The following article gives a definition of global leadership and compares it with other leadership profiles: local, expat and glocal leadership. Another challenge about global leadership are the expectations towards this group of people: their expertise, skills and personality.Global leaders seem to be the answer to many questions of our globalised world. This paper describes the challenges global leaders encounter and the competencies they are supposed to dispose of. Interviews with global leaders and their teams show the way they deal with those challenges in practice.Finally, the results of the interviews help the leader discovering new opportunities to develop himself towards an inspiring global leader.

“…Recent research shows that many global organizations continue to struggle to achieve desired results through their leadership development initiatives (DDI, 2014;i4cp, 2015;UNC Executive Development, 2017). Scholars argue that the lack of effectiveness of leadership programs in global organizations often stems from haphazard identification of critical competencies, poor understanding of the process of how leaders develop, along with inadequate program design (Mendenhall et al, 2017). Dungan (2011) argued that leadership development is not a simple process, and today's leadership development curricula should reflect the increasing complexity of the leadership construct.…”

“…Dungan (2011) argued that leadership development is not a simple process, and today's leadership development curricula should reflect the increasing complexity of the leadership construct. Mendenhall et al (2017) argued that "to date, global leadership development programs have been descriptive and prescriptive in nature, but they have not specifically delineated theoretical relationships amenable to empirical testing" (p. 140). Osland and Bird (2018) pointed out that while several theoretical models for developing future global leaders exist, there is a need for additional research to better understand the factors that influence development.…”

“…Many leadership and global leadership scholars agree that transformational process is central to the development of today's leaders, however, there is continuous debate among these scholars about how the process of transformation occurs (Ciporen, 2010;Fisher-Yoshida, Geller & Wasserman, 2005;Geller, 2009;Johnson, 2008;Mendenhall et al, 2017;Nicolaides & McCallum, 2013). This disparity in scholarly research translates into practical implications.…”

“…Transformational growth leads to an expanded way of being, or what Hunter (2011) described as "changes in our form rather than content of understanding…" (p. S30). Global leadership scholars agree that leadership development is a process of personal transformation (Osland & Bird, 2018;Mendenhall, et al, 2017 (Geller, 2009). Johnson (2008) argued that the shift in the leadership paradigm calls for transformational learning that challenges and shifts one's mental models leading to enhanced ability to handle complex phenomena.…”

The development of high potentials within global companies remains a challenge in leadership development in the face of increasingly dynamic environments. Despite this, we know surprisingly little about the practices business schools and corporations follow when it comes to Global Leadership Development Programs (GLDP). In this article, we derive critical success factors of the components of a GLDP leveraging evidence of 90 conducted panel interviews with global human resources experts and qualitative analysis of 33 GLDPs, 20 high‐level executive storytelling about competences and practical key elements leading successful and results‐driven change in their global companies, and 12 interviews with executive education directors. We examine within a grounded theory approach two overall under‐explored questions. What is a successful GLDP? Moreover, how to design it? What are the critical success factors in designing a GLDP? We derive a checklist to help implement future GLDPs within their global organizations. Our findings and discussion outline future research recommendations and provide advice for GLDP designers within Executive Education or HR Development contexts.
