dimensions of global leadership and made a recommendation about how the dimensions of culture and leadership could distinguish the influences of one country from another. Culturally endorsed implicit leadership (CLT) The six Globe dimensions of culturally endorsed implicit leadership (CLT) are: Charismatic/value-based – characterized by demonstrating integrity, decisiveness, and performance-oriented by appearing visionary, inspirational and self-sacrificing, but can also be toxic and allow for autocratic commanding. Team-oriented – characterized by diplomatic, administratively competent, team collaboration and integration. A Toxic leader would be malevolent alienating the team, but driving cohesion Self-protective – characterized by self-centred, face-saving, procedural behaviour capable of inducing conflict when necessary while being conscious of status Participative – characterized by (non-autocratic) participative behaviour that is supportive of those who are being led. Human orientation – characterized by modesty and compassion for others in an altruistic fashion Autonomous – being able to function without constant consultations. Globalization continues to thrive and change, and the concept of global leadership will adapt to serve the best interest of a world being made incrementally smaller.
