Navigating a BANI World

We live in an era defined by BANI—Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible—a world shaped by unprecedented challenges: increasing complexity, growing interdependence, rising ambiguity, environmental uncertainty, and relentless, discontinuous change. In this volatile and multifaceted business environment, whether embraced or resisted, it is widely posited that nearly every manager has assumed, or is rapidly transitioning into, the role of a global manager, regardless of their geography or industry.

Success in this dynamic context depends on the ability to collaborate effectively with individuals and companies worldwide. The demand for interculturally competent, adaptable, and reflective global leaders has never been more pressing. These leaders must possess a well-rounded set of Global Leadership Competencies, empowering them to navigate complex challenges and lead with responsibility and humanity on a global scale.

Global Leadership and Its Core Competencies

We define Global Leadership as “the processes and actions through which an individual influences a range of internal and external constituents from multiple national cultures and jurisdictions in a context characterized by significant levels of task and relationship complexity” (Reiche, Bird, Mendenhall & Osland, 2017). These external constituents include government officials, international suppliers, global customers, business partners, and stakeholders from diverse backgrounds.

Through extensive research and analysis, we have identified four essential categories of Global Leadership Competencies:

1. Intrapersonal Competencies

2. Global Business Competencies

3. Multicultural Competencies

4. Interpersonal Competencies

These competencies form the foundation for authentic, responsible, and effective Global Leadership.
