| Résumé : |
Strategic Leadership: The GLOBE Study of CEO Leadership Behavior and Effectiveness Across Cultures is the third volume in a three-part series showcasing the multinational, multi-year, multi-phase research undertaken by the GLOBE team. The third GLOBE book is unique in its focus, methodology, and impact. The research reported in this book was obtained during the third phase of the GLOBE project which lasted approximately 10 years.
It examines strategic leadership effectiveness for executive and top-level management. Specifically, this 10-year-long phase of GLOBE features a large-scale, multi-national study of CEO leadership behavior and leadership effectiveness. GLOBE researchers obtained data from more than 800 CEOs and 5,000 top management team (TMT) members reporting to these CEOs from a total sample of 24 countries.
Throughout the book, the editors provide evidence that leadership matters, executive leadership matters greatly, and that societal cultures influence the kind of leadership that is expected and effective. Essentially, the gap in knowledge about executive impact occurs across the confluence of three subfields: Strategic Leadership, Global Leadership, and Cross-cultural Leadership.
The first GLOBE book, published in 2004, developed an integrated theory that links various theoretical processes important within and between these subfields. Today, the GLOBE theory has become a model framework for other studies in the area of global leadership, cross-cultural leadership, and strategic leadership. This new book develops a series of propositions about executive leadership based on this unified theory and empirically tests these propositions, once again offering the scholarly community a sound framework for evaluating executive leadership effectiveness.
This new, comprehensive resource is a must-have for scholars and serious professionals studying or practicing in the fields of leadership, global leadership, cross-cultural leadership, and organization studies more broadly. It can also serve as a graduate text for courses addressing these themes. |
