<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#002060">Abstract: </span>
</b><span lang="EN-US">The talk will start with a brief consideration of the concept of leadership and the different elements involved in it. Then it will turn to the main focus of the talk – the ‘leader-follower’ relationship in global contexts and the criticism
and opposition that can easily occur within that relationship. With the help of authentic case studies from various parts of the world, it will illustrate the need to understand the impact of contextual factors, such as differing conceptions of the nature
of the leader–follower role relationship, and entrenched beliefs about the suitability for leadership of people with certain identity characteristics. The ‘Interaction Compass’ will be introduced to throw more light on these problems and to illustrate the
range of strategies that are available for overcoming them. The Interaction Compass will be linked with / placed into a broader framework to identify the range of different factors that need to be taken into consideration when exercising global leadership.
The main thrust of the argument is the need for leaders to take a flexible and dynamic approach, not implementing a pre-determined solution but instead taking a wide range of variables into account and selecting strategies with mindful flexibility.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
