| Abstract: | Globalization implies a unique set of leadership skills. The specific competencies needed for effective global leadership is gleaned from previous research on predictors of expatriate success, as well as observations made by participants and educators in cross-cultural training programs. A set of relational competencies (flexibility, curiosity, openness, acceptance of cultural differences) and interpersonal skills as a key selection criterion for international assignments is reviewed. The question whether managerial competencies for global leaders can be taught is addressed. The need for a more efficient training methodology is emphasized. Some of the key elements of program design are outlined. Five main challenged for training are discussed. |
