Volume 10 of Advances in Global Leadership continues to advance both global leadership research and practice by bridging and integrating conceptual and practitioner perspectives to provide a deeper understanding of this rapidly growing field of study. This volume contains both innovative foundational research on global leadership processes and new models to advance theoretical work. The 'Practitioner's Corner' section of the volume contains lessons from three experts with decades of experience in developing global leaders from both business and non-profits. This volume also provides detailed descriptions of ground-breaking university global leadership development programs. As always, the editors conclude the volume with an overview of the current state of the field and a summary of the key research needs and directions to guide future scholarship.

"Advances in Global Leadership is the seminal series for scholarship on leaders working worldwide. At this moment in history, our need to understand the factors that support working successfully across cultures, countries, and communities could not be higher. Failure is not an option. Read this book. Learn from it. Then use its knowledge and wisdom to advance your own and others’ research and practice."
Global leadership is one of the top 21st Century challenges in management everywhere. Learning is a key requirement for leaders as they strive to understand multi-cultural perspectives and develop the cultural intelligence and competencies to succeed. This volume in the Advances in Global Leadership series is a good learning starting point. It brings together cutting edge empirical research, practitioner experience, and the educational initiatives that have been developed to help leaders respond to the challenges of global leadership.
Global leaders must be adaptable. You cannot lead across economic, political, legal, and cultural environments without cognitive and emotional plasticity. But . . . plasticity doesn’t mean making things up as you go along. That is ‘flying blind’, not leadership. What Joyce Osland and her expert colleagues give you in this excellent volume are robust conceptual and practical tools for informing your global leadership journey. A wonderful source!
