Guests: Allan Bird & Joyce Osland

This interview focuses on the book Global Leadership: Research, Practice and Development with two co-authors. They discuss how significant the issue of global leadership is and how we identify, develop and support our leaders so they can run enterprises that thrive. It is also important to understand the scope, complexity and challenging this work brings and the difficulty this presents for leaders. Some topics include: 1. What is it about the global context that makes leading globally so challenging? 2. What are the critical requirements of global leaders with respect to change and innovation? 3. How does culture impact global change initiatives? 4. How do we develop global leaders who are skilled at change and innovation? 5. How can global leaders build and maintain innovative organizations?
