Reconceptualising Leadership Development Through Cross-Cultural Perspectives and Interdisciplinary Integration

Abstract

Foundational leadership development has traditionally been accomplished via the use of frameworks that are both culturally specific and discipline-bound. When compared to other models, these frameworks often give Western forms of power and decision-making greater weight or importance. In a world that is growing increasingly linked, multicultural, and interdisciplinary, these sorts of strategies are not sufficient to handle the challenges that come with being a global leader. This study aims to construct a new paradigm of leadership development by incorporating the views and perspectives of individuals from a variety of disciplines and cultures from across the world. Throughout the course of this inquiry, which analyses how cultural diversity effects leadership practices and ideals, the value of inclusiveness, cultural intelligence, and contextual flexibility is underlined? This investigation was conducted to find out how these factors influence leadership. During this process, it places an emphasis on the contributions made by a wide range of disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, management, and the arts, in the process of establishing holistic leadership frameworks that foster ethical reasoning, creative thinking, and systemic thinking. The study gives a redefined approach to leadership development that goes beyond the paradigms that are already in place. This method is shown by using a synthesis of these aspects. In order to provide leaders with the capacity to handle global crises with empathy, inventiveness, and the ability to work together with others, this technique was developed. For the objective of contributing to both theoretical debates and practical solutions for the development of leaders who are able to flourish in conditions that are both diverse and continually changing, the study is being conducted with the intention of doing the research.
