Answer to Question 1

Effective global leadership entails the ability to inspire and influence the thinking, attitudes, and behavior of people anywhere in the world. The importance of the leadership role cannot be overemphasized, because the leader's interactions strongly influence the motivation and behavior of employees, and ultimately, the entire climate of the organization. The cumulative effects of one or more weak managers can have a significant negative impact on the ability of the organization to meet its objectives.
Managers on international assignments try to maximize leadership effectiveness by juggling several important, and sometimes conflicting, roles as: (1 ) a representative of the parent firm, (2 ) the manager of the local firm, (3 ) a resident of the local community, (4 ) a citizen of either the host country or of another country, (5 ) a member of a profession, and (6 ) a member of a family.

Answer to Question 2

A
