GLOBAL MINDSET E LIDERANÇA GLOBAL: Explorando a relação entre capital psicológico, experiência internacional e o papel da liderança

Abstract: The competencies of global leadership are increasingly relevant in transnational organizations, requiring development of their leaders. Among the qualities of a global leader, the global mindset (GM) is expressed in the ability to alter national and business barriers, integrating cultural and market perspectives, independent of the assumptions of a single country, and requiring adaptive skills for all environments and business situations. Being one of the attributes of GM, psychological characteristics consist of passion for diversity, self-confidence, search for the unknown, cross-cultural encounters and reflecting on the individual's ability to thrive in unpredictable and complex environments. This research aimed to analyze the impact of international experiences and previous leadership experience of 58 individuals over their psychological capital. For this, the PCQ-24 instrument was used to quantify the attributes of psychological characteristics: self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism. The main finding was international experience had only little influence. On the other hand, previous experience in leadership roles positively influenced their psychological capital, especially the self-efficacy component. Because of the findings, practical and research recommendations are outlined.

Global Leadership Competencies and Orientations: Theory, Practice, and Future Implications

Abstract: This chapter focuses on global leadership competencies and orientations with specific reference to theory, practice, and future implications. A critical analysis of existing studies on global leadership competencies and orientations indicated that several global leadership competencies exist such as global business expertise, global organizing expertise, and visioning while global leadership orientation/mindset has been identified as an influencing factor in the learning and application of global leadership competencies by global leaders which often leads to effective global leadership. In determining the role of goal orientation in global leadership competencies, evidence from previous studies revealed that goal orientation inputs such as team learning orientation and team performance orientation contributes positively to collective global leadership effectiveness. Finally, the barriers to global leadership competencies and orientations were identified and solutions were proffered to limit the negative effects on global leadership effectiveness in business environments.
