Abstract
Global
teams
that
are
characterized
by
national,
cultural
and
linguistic
heterogeneity
and
operate
in
a
globally
dispersed
virtual
environment
are
becoming
an
established
form
of
organizing
work
in
multinational
organizations.
As
global
team
leadership
research
is
rather
limited,
we
review
the
literature
on
leading
multicultural
and
virtual
teams
in
a
global
context,
focusing
on
leadership
competencies,
styles,
strategies
and
modes.
We
also
examine
the
emergent
concepts
of
biculturalism,
global
mindset
and
cultural
intelligence
with
respect
to
team
leaders.
Our
aim
is
to
add
to
our
knowledge
of
leading
global
teams,
highlight
recent
trends
and
suggest
directions
for
future
research.
Three
themes
for
global
team
leadership
emerged:
leaders
as
boundary
spanners,
bridge
makers
and
blenders;
people-oriented
leadership;
and
leveraging
diversity.
We
discuss
implications
for
research
and
practice.
