Chapter 1 in Global Leadership Practices, 2024, pp 2-24 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Humanity is facing pressing global challenges that are significantly impacting both society and business. There is enormous pressure to act. Global leadership is needed to ensure the changes necessary to address these challenges are made. This chapter starts by introducing the concept of global leadership and the complexities inherent in its practice. We then reflect on the normative nature of assuming responsibility for global challenges and how to navigate the complexities involved. A comparison of leadership research perspectives is presented to enable exploration of how they impact our understanding of global leadership practices and to inform an in-depth understanding of the meaning, context and challenges of these practices. The chapter ends with an overview of the subsequent chapters of the book.
