Global Leadership, Change, Organizations, and Development

About the Book

Leaders, innovators, and managers face tough challenges in an increasingly globalized world. It is growing harder to accomplish personal and organizational objectives.

One of the sources of difficulty in accomplishing these objectives is the disregard of researchers, educators, and practitioners toward global leadership. Problems in the Middle East, Africa, and other parts of the world demand great leaders, and few people are answering the call.

Written by an accomplished professor, this textbook provides a framework for leadership success throughout the world. Drawing upon examples from Africa and elsewhere, author Michael Ba Banutu-Gomez demonstrates how to

• • deal with organizational cultures, teams, and change in a global setting;
• • be more profitable in an increasingly globalized world;
• • define your organizational culture and inspire others;
• • manage your business in Africa and other developing nations.

Intended for students, leaders, managers, and professionals, this inspiring guide provides you with the vision you need to approach your mission from a global perspective. If you want to be more profitable and make a difference, you must focus on Global Leadership, Change, Organizations, and Development.
