Using the Higher Educational Presidential Global Leadership Survey, the study, American Higher Education in a Global Society: A Study of Presidential Leadership, investigated the global leadership competencies essential for higher education presidents in the highly globalized society of today. A stratified random sample of 169 presidents and 74 chairs of boards of trustees responded that 4 of the 7 general competency categories were vvery important to the effectiveness of presidents--global vision and culture, global strategic planning, global mind-set, and global learning. Specifically 23 of the 44 global leadership competencies were perceived as very important. Linda Robertson, Director of CIIE, conducted this study.
