In a book chapter Booz Allen Hamiltons Global People Strategy, Shrader (2007) offers the following advice for global leaders: Global leaders need to help people visualize the vision, within it for them, and how they can get there. Global leaders need to listen and engage others and part with those who were not engaged. He suggests Global Leadership Insights for leaders as follows: Lead by listening first, then bring closure and leading action . Have a clear leadership vision and deliver consistent messages Be disciplined-its a sign of respect for others and yourself. Establish priorities, make them a part of life, and then live by them (Shrader, 2007, p.198). The single highest priority according to this CEO is to stay in touch and be visible and accessible. This is valuable feedback to global leaders such as Paul and his staff in the Roaring Dragon Hotel case study could have used this advice when working with the Chinese staff. Directions: 1.
