The economy is global, businesses are increasingly global, management has gone global and there is an increasing demand (and reward) for truly skilled global leaders, managers and executives. Black and Morrison address this change by asking why and when globalization truly began and explain how businesses can adapt themselves to remain competitive in increasingly global markets.

Written by authoritative experts and based on extensive, up-to-date research and interviews with leading global leaders, The Global Leadership Challenge provides practical tools to develop global leadership skills, laying down the capabilities that must be developed and the plans that must be made to meet the globalization challenge.

This will be truly vital reading for middle managers who have ambition for more senior positions, senior managers that are already bumping up against the challenges of global leadership, and top executives who are in the midst of the challenges of global leadership.

The Global Leadership Challenge is a stimulating, practical guide to managing effectively in an ever-globalizing business world. It's an excellent read with real-life examples for how to deliver value for your company and improve yourself as a global leader.

In a world of possibly too many publications on leadership, Black and Morrison's book stands out, offering great insights, tools, and techniques that are critical for successful global leaders.

Steven Holliday, CEO, National Grid plc.

Global leaders were made 20 years ago; their children were born global, and will now compete with you for the best jobs. It's time to up your game, and this book is the best global passport you can hope for.

Michel Demare, Chairman of the Board, Syngenta

The first edition 'Global Explorers' was my instructional guide for my first international assignment. In this second edition, Black and Morrison lay out a research-based but practical framework that is a must-read for any leader facing the challenge of globalization!

William Chisholm, CEO, Samuel Son & Co.

This lucidly written book provides guidance for acquiring and nurturing leadership qualities for confidently facing a rapidly globalizing world undergoing increasing uncertainty, complexity and pace of change.
