Global Leadership
Prior to denoting a specific plan for outlining how Jiango, a senior vice president for Deronde International, a French fragrance company looking to expand its international interests into emerging markets, it is critical to denote the executive's strengths and weaknesses. Doing so will reveal a significant degree of insight into what the apparent gaps are between him and his predominantly French colleagues and result in creating a course of action that can account for such differences in global and cultural competencies that are apparent. Such differences are fairly common in international executives (Nardon and Steers 2007, p. 47). To Jiango's credit, he appears to be extremely knowledgeable about culture from an international perspective. He was largely hired at Deronde due to his "intimacy" (Nohria 2009, p. 32) of knowledge regarding Asian markets. There are also passages in "From Regional Star to Global Leader" that intimates he is familiar with other non-Westernized cultures including South American ones. It is also worth noting that the executive is determined about accomplishing his job -- either at Deronde or elsewhere -- and that as such it is clear that he is willing to reevaluate his perceived intolerance of Western (particularly French) culture.

The preceding analysis of Deronde's cultural strengths pertaining to non-European civilizations and his weakness of failing to integrate or incorporate ideas from European and French culture reveals that the best way to augment his strength and balance out his weakness is to utilize Westernized culture and input in his advertising ideas. The most readily accessible way for him to do so would be to actively solicit and add input from his team of fellow vice-presidents. These individuals, Yves, Antoine, and Elyse, appear to have the same degree of intimacy for Westernized culture as Jiango does of non-Westernized culture. As such, Jiango should be actively seeking to learn about Westernized...

Global Leadership While it is certainly important for a global leader to have what Stephen L. Cohen refers to as a "global mindset" -- and he refers to a "global mindset" as the most important attribute -- this paper argues that a global mindset is but one of the pivotal leadership traits that an executive needs in the global marketplace in 2013.
