The Global Leader’s Role

Sylvana Storey

Chapter 1 in The Impact of Diversity on Global Leadership Performance, 2014, pp 7-23 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Leaders are ultimately both the chief architects of their organisations’ cultures and climates, and the key connecters to their workforces. It is they who define the future of diversity. Thus, the relationship between leadership and diversity is pivotal as to how diversity can be effectively leveraged in a global context. Leaders decide what is important in terms of beliefs and values. Subsequently, what they pay attention to, measure and control and, how they react to organisational crises and critical incidents through their directing and positioning, facilitation, role modelling, teaching and coaching all contribute to the organisation’s way of being. That is, the interplay between leadership intentions, practices, attributes and deliverables is key to achieving buy-in to the value of diversity. This is the leadership necessity for diversity.
