The ABCDs of Leadership 3.0

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Palgrave Macmillan IESE Business Collection ((IESEBC))

Abstract

The ambitious title reflects an ambitious proposal: consider a new way of addressing the distinctive complexities that leaders confront in a global (or international) context by thinking through the differences and distances between countries—and acting on the implications. The model I advocate, Leadership 3.0, derives from logic, empirical research, an AACSB-sponsored survey of thought leaders worldwide, participation for more than two years in the AACSB’s Globalization of Management Education Taskforce (including writing a chapter in the report on some of the ideas presented here) and action research in the classroom over an even longer period.1
