This document summarizes a presentation on global leadership development. It discusses various frameworks and approaches for developing global leaders, including the Center for Creative Leadership's model of developing 12 capabilities through self-knowledge, behavioral change, and career development. It also reviews different development tools like 360-degree feedback, coaching, mentoring, and their strengths/weaknesses. The document then outlines a research project between several Asian universities to derive a model for developing Asian leaders based on analyzing the cross-cultural experiences of international assignees from China, Indonesia, and Singapore.

2 Views of global leadership
• Global leadership is distinct from domestic leadership (Mendehall, 2008)
the global context places such high demands on the deployment of those competencies for all intents and
purposes the skill level and deployment demands render the phenomenon so different in degree that it makes
sense to address it as being different in kind to traditional leadership…. Specifically, the global context significantly
increases for leaders the valence, intensity, and complexity of key contextual dimensions that also exist for those
leading in a domestic context.
•Universal and timeless leadership competencies (Campbell, 2006)
six basic competencies that can be shared or delegated (vision, management, empowerment, diplomacy,
feedback, and entrepreneurialism) and three personal competencies (personal style, personal energy, and
multicultural awareness).
Multicultural awareness: being experienced and comfortable when working with diverse individuals in
organizations that cut across geographic, demographic, ethnic, and cultural borders.

Develop Global Leaders based on KAOs
12
Knowledge Background
•Worker-oriented job analytic approach : a certain set of knowledge, skills, abilities and personality
characteristics are present in those who perform a given job well. (Sandberg, 2000)
•This suggests that successful global leaders are likely to possess some common knowledge, skills,
abilities and other personality characteristics (KSAOs). (Caligiuri, 2006)
Result Caligiuri (2006)
• Different inventions should be used according to different KAOs.
•Knowledge: Didactic learning opportunities: Books, Cross-cultural training courses, Diversity
training, E-learning, Language classes
•Skills and abilities: Experiential intervention: Cultural immersion programs, Language
immersion, Coaching, Mentoring, Attending global meetings, Working on global teams
•Personality characteristics: Intensive experience: International assignments, Life-changing
experiences, Salient non-work cultural experience

“The Jack Welch of the future cannot be me. I spent my entire
career in the United States. The next head of General Electric will
be somebody who spent time in Bombay, in Hong Kong, in
Buenos Aires. We have to send our best and brightest overseas
and make sure they have the training that will allow them to be
the global leaders who will make GE flourish in the future.”
–by Jack Welch, CEO of GE
Developing leadership cross-cultural competence was among the top 5
organization-wide practices affecting the effectiveness of multinational
corporations. (Stroh and Caligiuri, 1998)

17. Global Competence for Asian Leaders
Research Partners:
An applied research collaboration supported by the Human Capital Leadership
Institute (Singapore) with the objective to derive a model for Asian leaders, which
will lead to systematic global leadership development programs with Asian
characteristics.
Built on our previous researches on Chinese and Indonesian intercultural
sensitivity, we continue in this study by elaborating the cross-cultural experiences
of the Chinese, Indonesian and Singaporean international assignees and their
respective local co-workers in China and Indonesia. Intercultural sensitivity has
been widely accepted as one of the most significant element of global
competencies and one of the strongest predictor for global leaders and managers
accomplishments.
The principal investigators of the project are Dr. Hora Tjitra, Dr. Hana Panggabean,
and the research team of the the Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China), Zhejiang
University of Technology (Hangzhou, China) and the Atma Jaya Indonesia Catholic
University (Jakarta, Indonesia).
