What is Global Leadership?: 10 Key Behaviors that Define Great Global Leaders

The book is very good about communicating the need and providing some tools and guidance for the differences in leading cross culturally. However the Kindle for PC is erratic and unpredictable. I have had many difficulties with accessing the book. Most of the time it will not open and I must go through a convoluted process of deregistering and reregistering and redownloading only to have it fail again fifteen minutes later.

This book applies more to business than it does Education. Self assessment and cultural awareness a first step to successful international collaboration. Good point to see difference and adapt rather than only look at the similarities between cultures %

The authors Gundling, Hogan and Cvitkovich address three "megatrends" that are shaping our world today--population growth in the developing world; shifting balance of GDP (with the growth of middle classes in emerging markets); and urbanization in Asia and Africa. They make a compelling research-based case for why global leadership differs from more general definitions of leadership, including multiple case examples. Overall, an excellent resource for learning how to adapt to different countries and cultures to be successful.

Let me start of by saying that I don’t understand how this book has such a high rating. The content was mediocre and the writing and organization poor. This was a required text book for my doctorate program and I feel that it was highly disorganized and hard to follow. It was all over the place and repeated the same concepts over and over again. The content in this book could have easily been presented in a four page article. This was the most poorly written book that I have read in a long time. If you are buying this book for personal use, do yourself a favor and find a better one. If you are buying this book for a school purposes prepare yourself to be highly irritated.

An excellent book with very good insights on working with cross cultural teams as well and diversity.

A great read. Organized succinctly and smartly. Not incredibly jargonish or technical. Practical advice for being "global."

Good item

Needed it for my class. Good information on global relationships.
