Transcultural leadership and transcultural competence

Mehr zum Buch

The concept of Transcultural Leadership is increasingly recognized in both academic and practical contexts. In light of today’s complex economic and societal developments, effective leadership now requires competencies that extend beyond traditional models. Transcultural leadership addresses the challenges posed by globalization and the need for cross-cultural cooperation. This volume explores the current state of research on Transcultural Leadership and its associated competence models, blending innovative theoretical approaches with empirical analyses. It provides a solid foundation for understanding what it means to be a successful leader in the evolving global landscape. Key topics include a competence-based approach to Transcultural Leadership, the relational aspects of transculturality as a leadership style, and methods for operationalizing transcultural competence. Comparative studies on the competencies of biculturals versus monoculturals are also discussed, alongside the focus on commonalities in transculturality. The findings derived from global competence assessments, such as those by PISA, are examined, as well as the role of transcultural management in global firms. Additionally, the volume highlights university education in transcultural competence, exemplified by Global Studies Projects at Zeppelin University.
