Diversity in the Leadership Style: A Global View

Abstract

The country origin holds a very strong character in the selection of those practices and styles that are to be adopted by the organizations while working as foreign organization in different countries. The practices and styles adopted or practiced within a number of organizations having the same foreign origin are much different than other local and foreign organizations, thus giving rise to a new breed of organizational working techniques, practices or even styles. The country of origin can hence be seen first as the organizational cultural settler, second as the influencer of styles and practices practiced there at the organizations and third as further integrated cultures based organizations. The second role is the main focus of this research centering on the effect of the country origin on the leadership styles and practices. The factors of the country origin that affects the leadership’s styles are analyzed and the extent of their role in organization is considered.
