TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-cultural study was conducted to explore how cultural dimensions predict values held by top managers and how managerial values in their turn influence subordinates' commitment, finding that the way managers consider economic indicators, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and fairness issues, could be predicted by cultural dimensions.
Abstract: The current article is based on data from two phases of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behaviour (Globe) cross-cultural study. The research questions that this paper attempts to explore look at how cultural dimensions predict values held by top managers and how managerial values in their turn influence subordinates’ commitment. Our research indicates that the way managers consider economic indicators, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and fairness issues, could be predicted by cultural dimensions. Of all cultural dimensions studied, future orientation and humane orientation proved to be the best predictors for managerial values. On the other hand, the degree to which top managers value the welfare of the local community and nation, ethics and the economic effectiveness of their company, influences positively their employees’ motivation and organizational commitment. Results point to the universality of certain values and the need for top management to communicate them effectively in today’s global environment.

TL;DR: In this article, an approach to assess and develop leaders that is grounded in information-categorization theories of leadership, such as implicit leadership theories (ILTs; Lord & Maher, 1991), and the organizational fit or congruence literature (e.g., Ostroff & Judge, 2007) from the domain of organizational behavior is presented.
Abstract: We agree with Holt and Seki (2012) that tools for assessing and developing leaders have not kept up with the paradoxical realities faced today by global leaders. One such reality is that coworkers from different parts of the world have different mental models of what effective leadership entails. The same leadership characteristic or behavior can be seen as effective in one context and ineffective in another. This is particularly salient in today’s organizational context with global leaders working across cultures. But what if assessments for global leaders could take this fact into account? This is what we have been exploring, an approach to assess and develop leaders that is grounded in information-categorization theories of leadership, such as implicit leadership theories (ILTs; Lord & Maher, 1991), and the organizational fit or congruence literature (e.g., Ostroff & Judge, 2007) from the domain of organizational behavior. Applying ILTs and fit to the practice of 360-degree feedback moves the field away from the traditional approaches of assessing leadership that assume one set of global skills or abilities exists and that a certain optimum level of competence is needed for effective leadership. We believe that such an optimum is not objective, not even intersubjective, but that leadership is ‘‘in the eye of the beholder.’’ This ILT approach

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the discussion of "What qualities or skills the leader should possess?" and "How can the leader lead in today's context?" and gather some insights on how leaders build resilience in their work team(s)/organizations in today’s tough times.
Abstract: Leadership, as the driving force of organizations, has played a vital role in every society, nation, profit or even non-profit organizations. We are now facing turbulent times, the credit crunch with recessionary pressures; and if we want business, company, national and regional growth, then we need resilient and capable leaders. Of great interest, in this paper, is the discussion of “What qualities or skills the leader should possesses?” and “How can the leader lead in today’s context?”. More specifically, we want to gather some insights on: “How can leaders build resilience in their work team(s)/organizations in today’s tough times?”
