Unique in its focus, methodology, and impact, Strategic Leadership Across Cultures: The GLOBE Study of CEO Leadership Behavior and Effectiveness in 24 Countries
is a must-have for those studying or practicing in the fields of global
leadership, cross-cultural leadership, and organization studies.
Reporting on research obtained during the third phase of the ten-year
GLOBE project, the book examines strategic leadership effectiveness for
executive and top-level management based on data from more than 1,000
CEOs and over 6,000 top management team members in 24 countries. 
Authors Robert J. House, Mary Sully de Luque, Peter Dorfman, Mansour
Javidan, and Paul L. Hanges offer a series of propositions about
executive leadership based on the unified theory ―developed after the
publication of the first GLOBE book―and empirically test these
propositions. They provide evidence that leadership matters, executive
leadership matters greatly, and that societal cultures influence the
kind of leadership that is expected and effective.
