| Rick, I have group of collaborators working in a global project, Preferred Leader Behaviour Across Cultures, that has been going on since 1997. It is mostly self-funded by researchers so development has been a bit slow. We're at a stage where we can publish some comparisons across 8 or 10 countries using the Leader Behaviour Description Questionnaire XII and the Schwartz Values Survey individual value dimensions, hopefully in 2010.

Colleagues:
I am seeking recent empirical studies focusing on the relationship between national/regional cultural differences and effective leadership behavior in work organizations. I know that GLOBE has made a useful contribution here, but wish to find out what else is out there. Any and all suggestions are welcome, either published or in working paper form. Comparative studies are preferred. Thanks.
Rick Steers
