  • Athens, Greece
    Boston Latin School Tufts IGL Inquiry 2019 Cities at the Vanguard Toronto Simulation Athens, Greece Briefing Paper Introduction In the contemporary state of the migrant crisis, Athens fully acknowledges this urgent obstacle. As the birthplace of western democracy, our city believes that only through soliciting the perspectives of various parties can we ultimately reach a viable and long lasting solution. Athens embraces this conference as a collaborative effort of various foreign entities to invest in adequate accommodations for all migrants in order to ensure their rights to healthcare, shelter, stability and other essential needs. We hope that foreign entities will be willing to continue in this commitment and increase investments in our city whether through providing monetary aid or supplies. In the recent years, many of our migrants have come predominantly from the Balkan countries, the Middle East, as well as Asia. Although we still face immense challenges to integration these populations into our society, we are optimistic that the situation will improve in the foreseeable future. Demographics ● The ethnic Greeks compose the maJority of the populations in Athens. Other minorities in the demographic include Jews, Romani, and Muslims ● The official religion in Athens, as well as Greece, is the Eastern Orthodox church. Other religion in Athens include Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism. ● Within the City of Athens, there are noticeably segregation in residential areas in accordance with wealth and racial status. Key Points ● Increased humanitarian aid to refugee camps ● Additional emergency funding from EU nations ● Established policies towards migrants who progress to other EU nations ● Enhanced technology for documentation of migrants ● Border policies of neighboring countries Background and History of Athens Athens is an ancient city rich in ancient traditions gathered during the millennials of our existence.

  • Culturally Endorsed Implicit Leadership Theory
    Literature Review of GLOBE’s CLT: Culturally Endorsed Implicit Leadership Theory Brian T. Moore Regent University This study provides a beginning step in an exhaustive literature review of articles related to the culturally endorsed implicit leadership theory within the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) project from 2008 to 2018. While there are many articles related to the GLOBE project since its inception in 1991 and beginning research in 1994, this study is limited to scholarly and peer-review journal articles available in the Regent University Summon database that specifically cover or use GLOBE’s culturally endorsed implicit leadership theory. Each article is summarized by author, GLOBE project year, study method, cultural and leadership dimensions associated with the culturally endorsed implicit leadership theory, and article highlight. This literature review includes the following observations: (a) researchers in most articles from 2014 to 2018 used GLOBE 2004 because data was reliable, publicly accessible, and the only data available in specific areas; CLT leadership dimensions are effective tools for measuring cross-cultural leadership effectiveness within countries and clusters or across regions; and unlike some other leadership theories, GLOBE’s cultural and CLT leadership dimensions remained relatively unchanged for more than two decades; (b) that although GLOBE defined nine cultural dimensions and six global CLT leadership dimensions, the 21 primary dimensions and 112 leadership attributes are undefined, which was considered ambiguous; (c) that while GLOBE included 62 societies in its 2004 report, it did not contain specific data for each country, or it consolidated data into broad clusters containing dissimilar countries; and finally, (d) that although GLOBE published a report in 2014, researchers in this small sample of articles continued to use GLOBE 2004 data rather than the newer data in GLOBE 2014.

  • Leadership Development in Egypt: How Indigenous Managers Construe Western Leadership Theories
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ROS: The Research Output Service. Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh Leadership Development in Egypt: How indigenous managers construe Western leadership theories By Helen T Cullina Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Business Administration Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Business School February 2016 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from the thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. i ABSTRACT This research examines the ways in which Egyptian managers make sense of the leadership theories they are exposed to in their work interactions and their in-house leadership development training. This empirical study utilizes Personal Construct Theory to uncover how the indigenous managers construe Western evolved leadership theories. The research strategy follows a phenomenological paradigm, based on a comparative case study centered on an international design consulting firm headquartered in the Middle East region. The data collection tools, i.e., the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT), Personal Value Statements and Storytelling are consistent with an inductive, constructivist approach. The findings illustrate differences in how leadership theories are construed by indigenous managers compared to their UK counterparts and consequently which theories are more and less favoured. An emergent finding that evolved from this enquiry was the differences between Egyptian managers’ espousals and actual day to day leadership practices. This finding raises greater awareness of the role that cultural values play in the cross-cultural arena of leadership.

  • America's Global Leadership
    AMERICA’S GLOBAL LEADERSHIP AMERICA’S GLOBAL LEADERSHIP A Strategic Investment for U.S. Jobs AMERICA’S GLOBAL LEADERSHIP: A STRATEGIC INVESTMENT FOR U.S. JOBS | 1 Today, America is facing unprecedented fiscal and economic challenges but also tremendous new opportunities around the world. With 95% of the world’s consumers living outside of the United States, it is increasingly clear America’s economic prosperity is linked to economic currents elsewhere in the world. The key question is how should America respond to this reality? Key to American jobs is elevating and strengthening our development and diplomacy programs funded by the International Affairs Budget. An essential driver in creating more and higher paying American jobs is clearly exports, currently supporting more than 10 million jobs in the United States and accounting for a substantial percentage of U.S. economic growth. Half of U.S. exports today are to the developing world, and trends reveal those markets will grow at a far faster pace than many of our more traditional partners. Clearly, these emerging and developing markets are central to the future of American economic prosperity. American businesses need a wide array of available tools to succeed in these new environments, and the International Affairs Budget is one of the most cost-effective tools we have to help our economy grow. These programs promote American exports and investment, support economic reforms overseas to open markets, contribute to the development of stable democratic societies governed by rule of law, and help lift people out of poverty, all of which are essential for U.S.

But while low-performing companies are improving, the effectiveness gap between high- and low-performing companies’ programs continues. 7 Key Finding 4: The leading competencies that are the focus of global leadership development remain remarkably consistent over time. However, an examination of the mastery of these competencies identifies some key areas for improvement and competitive advantage. 8 Key Finding 5: When asked to identify the single most important focus of their global leadership development programs, high-performing companies clearly focus on interpersonal influence and coalition building as their top priority. 9 Key Finding 6: High-performing companies not only use metrics to evaluate their global leadership development programs more than lower- performers, they continue to use a wider variety of evaluation metrics.

  • Global Leadership in the 21St Century*
    CADMUS, Volume 4, No.1, October 2019, 101-114 Global Leadership in the 21st Century* David Harries Former Chair, Canadian Pugwash Group; Fellow, World Academy of Art & Science Abstract On 17 March 2019, immediately following the four-day VII Global Baku Forum, members and friends of five international organizations gathered to explore the present state and future effectiveness of governance and leadership, in the context of a world focused on the 17 SDGs and the role of education in their achievement. The short report of the day’s proceedings in the June 2019 WAAS newsletter deserved a more thorough follow-up on their several distinct parts, and the many important connections among their themes: The progress of the Black Sea Universities Network, Jeffrey Sachs’ provocative description of the challenges to accomplishing the 17 SDGs by 2030, and the five sessions addressing leadership and its related needs are addressed in this essay of personal and professional reflections. All are offered with the objective of providing both participants and the interested a more detailed report of the proceedings and a broader perspective on several of their major themes. Officials of five international organizations† concerned about the present state and future effectiveness of governance and leadership in the world participated in a full day of presen- tations and dialogue to share opinion and analysis. Given the knowledge and experience of those at‡ the meeting and their obvious acknowledgement of the value of ‘hearing’ the biases, assumptions and interests of others, notwithstanding sometimes significant differences of opinion, it was no surprise the 12 hours together were well-spent.

  • Global Leadership and the Impact of Globalization
    Global Leadership and the Impact of Globalization Jose R. Perez Colorado Technical University The purpose of this paper was to address the impact of globalization on global leadership and the necessary skills and practices needed to effectively lead globally. To help resolve many of the issues created by globalization, global leaders need the leadership skills and practices necessary for leading effectively in a globalized environment. Transformational leadership was identified as capable of reaching across cultures to enhance organizational performance and drive change in a global environment. However, the literature review demonstrated a gap in future research to be focused on how transcultural leadership can be used by organizational leaders in a globalized environment. INTRODUCTION The world in which we live in is increasingly becoming more interconnected. Whole societies, economies, and political systems are becoming more intertwined as products and services are exchanged across continents. Organizations are continuously having to adapt to this evolving landscape to survive or perish. In fact, what worked yesterday, may not work today. This phenomenon is attributed to globalization. There is no doubt that globalization has impacted how leadership is practiced at a global level. This has created challenges for many organizations and the global leaders who lead them. For example, leadership skills and practices which are effective in one country may be useless in another due to differences in cultural believes and values. Therefore, it is important to understand how leadership can be used to effectively lead in a globalized environment. Problem Statement While the concept of leadership has been studied extensively, the literature is limited on how globalization has impacted the leadership process.
