1CROSS CULTURAL MANAGEMENTIntroductionThe purpose of the following essay is to demonstrate the various issues in theglobal leadership and communication. The journal that has been provided here will haveto be reviewed. The global leadership has been a very major issue in the modernbusiness environment. The cross-cultural management has been identified by theexperts as a very significant aspect in the business industries. Some of the importantthemes that will be discussed and highlighted in this discussion are the globalmanagement in the modern competitive business environment and the organizationalbehavior i.e. well associated with it. The psychology of the employees has to beunderstood so the managers can utilize their emotions and efforts for the organizationalprofits. The cultural backgrounds of the employees might vary from one another and thishas to be dealt with the managers very strictly indeed. This paper will highlight on theseveral issues that arise within the organizational environment for the culturaldifferences among the employees. Thus it will be very much useful for the organizationsto value this fact of cross cultural management and make relevant arguments on thedifferent facts. Literature reviewThis article named ‘From cross-cultural management to global leadership:Evolution and adaptation’ is written by Allan Bird and Mark. E. Mendenhall. This articlewas published in the year 2016 (Bird and Mendenhall 2016). The main issues that havebeen discussed in this article are the cross cultural management and global leadershipissues. The global leadership has been a very arguable issue for over the years. Thisglobal leadership can be seen from the sections like the political leadership in differentcountries and the business leadership (Bird and Mendenhall 2016) The modernbusiness environment is very much competitive indeed. This is why the organizationswill need to go through a lot of different issues to understand the key to sustainabledevelopment.

The previous argument canbe countered by saying that when an organizations sets to expand in differentcontinents they have to face these difficulties severely. They just cannot escape this factbecause they will have to recruit the local people in those areas since they have toreduce the labor and production costs. This is why they must develop some strategiesby which they can confront these issues properly. The organizational development iscompletely a product of the joint exercise of all the employees together. The aspect ofcross-cultural management will have to be given special focus so the managers cantake the proper measures in this scenario (Cavusgil et al. 2014).
