    In Handbook of Leadership Theory and Practice, from the Harvard Business School Press, Harvard Business Press Books, in Chapter 13: "Leadership and Cultural Context: A Theoretical and Empirical Examination Based on Project GLOBE, Mansour Javidan, Peter W. Dorfman, Jon Paul Howell, and Paul J. Hanges present a more thorough integrated multi-level analysis of the GLOBE data, yielding 7 cross-cultural implicit leadership dimensions:

     

    1. Face Saving (mean societal score = 2.89 [low]; range 2.01–4.75)

    2. Autonomous (mean societal score = 3.84; range 2.23–4.67)

    3. Bureaucratic (formerly labelled Procedural) (mean societal score = 3.86; range 2.79–4.95)

    4. Internally Competitive (formerly labelled Conflict Inducing) (mean societal score = 3.95; range 2.92–5.04)

    5. Status Conscious (mean societal score = 4.27; range 2.34–5.81)

    6. Humane (mean societal score = 4.74; range 3.31–5.59)

    7. Charismatic–Self-Sacrificial (mean societal score = 5.00 [high]; range 3.92–6.07)

     

    I recommend the book and the chapter.
