Localising Leadership

'Localising Leadership' provides an invaluable reference point for senior executives or those striving towards a successful cross-border career, to understand how cultural differences impact upon leadership styles and practices. Each semester, we publish a report on our quantitative survey-based global study, alongside our review of extant in-country leadership literature, preferably written by local scholars and professionals in their native language. Moreover, we attempt to empirically validate these findings by conducting expert interviews with native specialists. This new issue of our ongoing leadership series presents country-specific analyses of culturally endorsed leadership practices and styles in the following countries: Bangladesh, Brunei, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Macau, Malta, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Qatar, Saint Martin, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United Kingdom and Zimbabwe. This publication contains contributions from around 100 researchers from sixteen countries who participated in the Cross-Cultural Business Skills elective offered by the Part-time Academy of the Faculty of Business and Economics at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA).
