Global Leadership in context, is the ability to guide, influence, and inspire individuals or groups across diverse cultural, economic, and geopolitical landscapes. Unlike traditional leadership, which may focus on a specific organization or community, global leadership requires a nuanced understanding of the interconnected world and the complexities that arise from it.​ This form of leadership is essential in a world where businesses, governments, and non-profits operate across borders and must navigate different cultural norms, regulatory environments, and market dynamics.
