'This
fascinating collection of local mythology shows how
widely leadership models differ across nations, and how
deeply these differences are rooted. True global
leadership is based on empathy with local variety.'
- Geert Hofstede, Maastricht University, The
Netherlands, author of Culture's Consequences: Comparing
Values, Behaviors, Institutions and Organizations Across
Nations
'I have yet
to come across a more captivating study of global
leadership patterns. The reader is taken into largely
unchartered territory linking globalisation, culture and
leadership. Delving deep into folklore, mythology and
spirituality we begin to understand how these are
manifested in human behaviour and are exhibited in
leadership styles. A must-read!'
- S. Ramadorai,
CEO of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
'Essential
reading for all practitioners and researchers who seek
to gain greater insights on cultural differences and
leadership competencies.'
