Abstract
This chapter summarizes the field of cross-cultural and global leadership research. It starts with a brief historical overview and descriptions of international landmark projects of high impact until today. The progress achieved in the field since about the mid-1990s is critically reviewed along fundamental research questions, for example: Which definitions of leadership are appropriate for cross-cultural study? Which approaches to culture are suitable for studying leadership? What is the magnitude of cultural effects on leadership? What is the moderating role of culture on the relationship between leadership and other relevant variables? What methodological issues have been and still need to be resolved in cross-cultural leadership research? With that as a foundation, the chapter delineates how the findings of contemporary cross-cultural leadership research can enhance managerial practice. Targeting the future, seven recommendations are offered that specify fundamental conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and practical issues in which significant progress can be made.
