Abstract

Leadership development is critical to organizational competitive advantage. The key to successful leadership development programs lies in understanding the complex and always-shifting interplay of national culture, organizational culture, program dynamics, and individual differences. Editors Derr, Roussillon, and Bournois explain the interrelationships among these influences, demonstrating how national culture may play a greater role in leadership development programs in some countries than in other countries. "Well documented, this work is an excellent supplemental resource for readers interested in leadership, executive development, human resource development, and global issues. Graduate, research, and professional collections."–Choice. "When I read something that provides insight to organization and people development dilemmas, I always take notes. I read this book, and I took a lot of notes! It provides good insight into a refined role for Human Resources professionals. You have given us significant 'food for thought.'"–Peter A. Stickler Director of Organizational Effectiveness for a global automotive company. "Since we now live in a world without boundaries or borders, we must find the necessary tools to increase the quality of leadership worldwide. This book does an excellent job of showing the way for leaders all over the world to gain understanding and knowledge in order to be successful in the rapidly changing global environment."–Carlos G. Gonzalez-Santibaniz Vice President for Human Resources Vitro S.A., Monterrey, Mexico. "This very comprehensive book handles a topic rarely covered on an international level: how to prepare tomorrow's managers. To identify and prepare tomorrow's leaders is the most challenging task for today's Human Resources Directors."–Jeffrey A. Joerres Chairman & CEO, Manpower, Inc. "This book, like no other, fleshes out the complexities of leadership development across cultures, yet also offers insightful and practical advice on how to go about developing leaders within the global business environment. Executives and human resource managers working in global firms will benefit greatly from the ideas, analysis, and recommendations contained in this book."–Mark E. Mendenhall J. Burton Frierson Chair of Excellence in Business Leadership University of Tennessee, Chattanooga. "For those of us who select and develop global leaders, this book helps us understand how it is done in different countries. It enlightens our understanding of a complex subject and underscores that the concept of leadership is culturally embedded."–Jerome Duval-Hamel Senior Executive Vice-President, Human Resources Cegetel Group and Vivendi Universal Net .
