Global Mindset and Leadership Effectiveness

Abstract: Abstract In the preceding chapters, we examined what a global mindset is and how it can be measured by formulating two research questions. We addressed these research questions in Chapters 4 and 5, respectively, based on an extensive literature study as described in Chapters 2 and 3. In this chapter, we address the third research question: What is the relationship between the individual global mindset and criteria for leadership effectiveness ? As in the previous studies, we aim to answer the third research question empirically. For this, we conducted a second quantitative field study to explore the relationship between global mindset and its outcomes. As we had identified the concept of a global mindset by interviewing managers with global responsibilities, we also wanted to measure the outcomes in terms of leadership effectiveness in a sample of managers working in a globalizing company. We also retested the relationship between personal and person-in-job factors and the global mindset concept to gain a better understanding of the process through which one adopts a global mindset. The expected relationships are presented in a research model.
