Leadership and Global Mindset


In global companies, corporate leaders have to care and understand about the similarities and differences in the region or the country in terms of political, economic, legal, and cultural. Global leaders must try to work in different regions or countries and face a variety of economic conditions, political, social, and cultural. The global leader must always observe the global changes that occur so accustomed to change and uncertainty.

The global leader must understand the needs of local and international customers, varied needs of consumers become a source of corporate opportunities. According to Dekker, Jansen, and Vinkenbur there are four requirements that must be owned by a global leader:

    International work experience, the experience can help to understand the global perspective.
    Cross-cultural competence, the leader is able to accommodate all the needs of global customers and do joint relationship with diverse backgrounds.
    Leadership, global leader be professional and have the ability and knowledge that has been tested.
    Openness, a global leader must be open to the outside world. Leaders must consider themselves as part of the world as a whole, not just part of the region or country.

Global leaders believe that the market is not only limited in one region or country, but can penetrate the boundary region or country. The global leader must like traveling, the ability to share between private life and work, understand the diverse community, work effectively and have the ability to balance global strategy
