Assessment Description:
The global environment presents many challenges for contemporary leaders. First, you will look at a leader's challenge in the last 12 months. This subject has focused on leadership styles, traits, characteristics and human resource management practices in the Australian context. A culture's leadership practices reflect traditional beliefs and philosophies, which incorporate cultural settings, traditional wisdom and, in some cases, indigenous theories and knowledge about leadership.
Therefore, becoming a global leader requires an appreciation of leadership behaviours across various culturally bound contexts.
Students will research leadership from a cultural context by completing an analysis that compares leadership in Australia with ONE country or region drawn from a list provided. You will discuss at least one (1) similarity and one (1) difference. Students MUST only select from the identified countries or regions on the list.

1. Discuss why awareness of global and cross-cultural leadership in the current environment is essential.
2. Analyse leadership in the Australian context and the connection leaders have to develop the organizations human resources.
3. Research and compare the key points you have made in the Australian context in contrast to leadership in your selected country or region.
