Leadership across cultural borders is the new frontier in
leadership studies. Increased globalization means leaders are
dealing with a variety of cultures in and out of their own
countries. Leaders must be experts in understanding what cultural
dimensions mean for being effective outside their own comfort zone.
Americans in particular are often ill-equipped to understand the
cultural complexities for international leadership.
In "Leadership Peruvian Style, " author Tim McIntosh addresses
how Peruvians define and practice leadership, providing a model to
assist the cross-cultural worker in understanding leadership in
both the home and host cultures. McIntosh's findings are based in
an empirical study conducted in 2008 that featured focus groups
composed of Peruvian citizens.
The study results described in "Leadership Peruvian Style" are
not only important for those working in Peru and other parts of
Latin America, but also give insight into how to analyze the
leadership profile of a particular culture and, in turn, make
adjustments in order to be more effective. Through this analysis,
McIntosh, who has spent twenty-seven years in leadership in Peru,
has contributed to the raising up of a new generation of effective
leaders in Latin America.
