Introduction
Global leadership efficiency has taken the shape of a major concern in several spheres,
including human resource management and world business (Daft, 2014).
Discussion
A person becomes an efficient leader when he or she becomes capable of managing
diversity and implementing highly complicated business strategies. Effective workforce
management of leaders marks the success of global business. Efficient global leaders are likely
to possess ‘capability of cultural intelligence’, for effective workforce management (DuBrin,
2015). Consequently, global leaders are expected to be aware and accept diversified practices.
They must initiate the following: nurture potential of employees, encourage and develop overall
associational performance of workers, undertake social liability and gather knowledge and skills
regarding global leadership and intercultural human relationships. Moreover, leaders must
implement innovation, social responsibility and employee involvement in their work. Leaders in
the global sphere are expected to comprehend and respect cultural differences and make
necessary adjustments; the person must also be ready to face challenges and seek opportunities
(Daft, 2014). However, there are qualities, which make bad leaders, such as- lack of transparency
and empathy, nurturing ego and not developing leadership and poor communication (Gaddis &
Foster, 2015).
Conclusion
Leadership in a global environment demands interpersonal skills, cultural awareness,
effectual manager-employee equation and universal mindset.
