Continuing with our series on cultural dimensions the report in this post introduces the impressive work carried out under the Global Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness Project, commonly referred to as "GLOBE", which was conceived in the early 1990s and is considered to be the most extensive and ambitious attempt to gather and analyze information relevant to the study of the cross-cultural aspects of leadership.  In future posts we will examine many of the cultural dimensions included and tested in the GLOBE project more closely.
