Abstract: Introduction: This study sought to explore the effect of cross-cultural leadership models on community health quality of life indicators. Increasing diversity in communities and a demand for leaders in healthcare to be culturally competent have aroused interest in researching the relationship between cultural leadership models and health outcomes in communities. Methods: A thorough literature review was performed to find previous research on cross- cultural leadership and community health QOL metrics. A search of peer–reviewed literature from 2000 to 2020 focusing on leadership approaches in various cultural contexts. Results: Cross-cultural leadership approaches appear to have a major effect on community health quality of life indicators. These forms of leadership can facilitate a unique approach to understanding various cultures, communicating and collaborating with communities. This ultimately improves more culturally appropriate health care services and more effective health outcomes in the community. Conclusions: Such an approach is likely to be more effective in improving community health quality of life metrics when based upon cross cultural leadership approaches. Cross-cultural leadership competencies are needed to be developed by leaders in healthcare organizations. This will allow for a more responsive and culturally competent healthcare system that ultimately improves community health status and quality of life. More research is needed to determine the mechanisms by which cross-cultural leadership strategies impact community health quality of life indicators.
