Developing Global Leadership Competencies: Strategies for Effective Talent Management Across Cultures

Abstract

This research aims to develop an understanding of global leadership competency development strategies in the context of cross-cultural talent management in multinational companies. The main focus of this study is to identify effective approaches in improving global leadership skills, including cross-cultural training and international position rotation. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with in-depth interview techniques with human resource managers and global team leaders in various multinational companies. The results show that cross-cultural training and international position rotation are the most effective strategies in preparing leaders to face challenges in culturally diverse teams. In addition, the biggest challenge faced is the difference in communication styles and different expectations between team members from different cultures. These findings underscore the importance of international experience in the development of leadership competencies and the need for a more inclusive approach to managing cultural dynamics in the global workplace. The study suggests that companies strengthen cross-cultural training programs and provide more international rotational opportunities for the development of more adaptive and effective global leaders.
