In today’s world, multinational organizations are becoming more sophisticated through technological advances. They are starting to understand the importance of leadership development from a global perspective and how the qualities developed from leadership programs cultivate lean management and innovation. To succeed, we will have to develop new mindsets and work habits for a radically changing world. We need to be prepared for almost anything and be willing to give up some of the attitudes and postures that have limited our thinking and constricted our behavior (Schmidt, 2006).To prepare, the initiatives have to follow globalized guidelines that should be
understood and implemented by multinational organizations. Some of the initiatives that this paper presents have been implemented in top-ranked business schools. This paper provides testimony to support the leadership development theories taught in these programs. Also, high-level executives and MBA students share their experiences and the values they derived from these programs. It should be understood that feedback can be just as useful as scientific evidence in supporting leadership development programs. It enables the reader to understand that the benefits and values derived from these programs can be used on a global scale, bringing people together all around the world,to work more efficiently and effectively in this rapidly changing society. In general, the idea is to value cultural synergy, promote leadership programs that have been proven sufficient, and then link them together through a globalized approach.
