TL;DR: In this article, the importance of an Institution of Higher Learning (IHE) to take a position of distinction internationally and establish motivation to beco me an effective leader is discussed.
Abstract: This paper will enable the reader to 1) understand characteristics of highly effective leaders, 2) review the importance of an Institution of Higher L earning (IHE) to take a position of distinction internationally and 3) establish motivation to beco me an effective leader. Leadership skills include: trust, a guiding vision for the institutio n, integrity, candor and the maturity to lead by example. Also, leadership skills include: curiosity and daring and above all, passion! For excellence in global leadership, an IHE is wise to follow a globally effective mission statement. An effective mission statement should include a pur pose, a description of the audience one is addressing and key elements how the institution wil l address the purpose. Establishing individual motivation contributes to the IHE’s dist inction in a global venue. When one believes in one’s constituents, it is more likely the “job” will be completed efficiently and on time! Motivation comes from an internal locus of control rather fostered by trust rather than micro management. Those Institutions of Higher Learning that exhibit excellence in global leadership also exhibit collaboration with other IHE’s. Netwo rking is essential to the contribution of new ideas, new schemas and innovative methods to teaching and learning. The answer to excellence in global leadership for Institutions of Higher Lea rning lies with an effective mission statement, carried out by skilled leaders who are willing to c ommunicate and collaborate on a global level.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the key generic leadership competencies relevant to globalisation and the demonstration of these competencies within the industrial development zones in South Africa and their prevalence within these zones.
Abstract: In the literature reviewed, a lack in leadership competencies to deal with globalisation within the South African Industrial Development Zones was identified. This led to questions being raised on the prevalence of these essential global leadership competencies within these zones. Realising the need for the development of an outwardly focused and globally competitive leadership model this study sought to investigate the key generic leadership competencies relevant to globalisation and the demonstration of these competencies within the zones. The study also sought to investigate:
The key generic leadership competencies relevant to globalisation;
The specific relevant leadership competencies and their prevalence within the industrial development zones in South Africa; and
Whether or not the surveyed global leadership competencies were significant and had impact on global leadership competencies that rendered leaders capable of operating in a global environment.
The study was conducted in three of the four Industrial Development Zones in South Africa. The fourth zone declined the researcher's invitation to participate due to the fact that at the time of the study it was undergoing structural changes which would have impacted the researcher's access to information.
