Leadership in a Multicultural World: Developing and Identifying Effective Leaders on a Global Stage.

What does it take to be an effective leader? This is a fundamental question that intrigues management scholars across the world. Featuring four papers by research teams from 14 different institutions across four countries (i.e., Canada, China, the UK, the US), the proposed symposium aims to advance discussions on the cultural determinants of effective leadership with a focus on three interconnected themes: (1) the changing dynamics of globalization, (2) cultural differences in effective leadership, and (3) universality of effective leadership across culture. By incorporating theories and evidence from multiple levels (societal level, team level, individual level), diverse contexts, and mixed methodologies, the present symposium offers important theoretical and practical insights into the development and identification of effective leaders on a global stage.
