Implementation Description Methods of instruction Implementation
TTA-25036 2013-01 Approaches to leadership vary across cultures. Global leaders today not only need to know how to inspire and lead people from a range of different cultures, they also need to create ways of leading people with very different backgrounds simultaneously. Moreover, the challenge of twenty-first century leadership is not simply business prosperity. Today's leadership challenge is to design innovative approaches that simultaneously create successful companies and successful societies. (Adler & Gundersen, 2008)   Lectures
