However, the SME leaders need to be global, regional, and domestic savvy to achieve higher performance in this region. Understanding international interaction is essential for SMEs to work effectively in today’s global business environment. Global leadership competencies are seen as those universal qualities that enable individuals to perform their job outside their own national as well as organizational culture, no matter what their educational or ethnical background is, what functional area their job description represents, or what organization they come from.
