Abstract: Abstract This chapter uses the Delphi method to explore how global leaders integrate leadership–followership models among different countries and cultures. The authors identify how global leadership practices affect social, behavioral, and interconnected societal roles. The authors analyze the effectiveness of several leadership theories through an intercultural framework for the global business community, including 1. Deciding how much risk to assume in an organization 2. Evaluating risk and behavioral expectations within an organization’s core decision-making and team processes 3. Monitoring and managing organizational risks Two research questions informed this study: 1. What competencies are required for successful and effective global leadership? 2. Can a Global Leadership Competency Model be developed based on these competencies? The authors further explain the lived experiences of a geographically diverse population, suggesting that globally minded ascendant leaders intellectually motivate their employees in collaborative and individualistic settings by using intercultural communications and provide followers with more autonomy and advanced performance outcomes in their roles. Such actions include effective decision-making to the extent that global leaders assess their current work environment(s) in a globally connected part(s) and identify potential challenges and opportunities in their practice and professional success.
