| Abstract | This chapter examines how cultural context influences leadership effectiveness in a globalised world. It explores major leadership theories – including transformational, transactional, and servant leadership – alongside cross-cultural frameworks such as Hofstede’s dimensions, the GLOBE study, and cultural intelligence (CQ). By addressing challenges in multicultural leadership and proposing evidence-based best practices, the chapter equips readers with strategies for leading diverse teams. A case study illustrates applied learning, while future research directions highlight emerging trends. The chapter contributes to a deeper understanding of culturally responsive leadership, offering valuable insights for scholars, students, and practitioners navigating leadership in international and cross-cultural organisational settings. |
