Introduction
The analysis in this field has already demonstrated what it is like to be a good leader, one capable of delegating, with strategic vision, capacity to manage and motivate people, and training in the area and accurate perception of the company in which it operates. But being a good leader in another country is more complex and requires an extra dose of humility and willingness to learn.

The conceptual delimitation itself in the area precedes studies of this nature and must taken into account in works dealing with "post-conceptual" themes. So helps in the configuration of its historical and theoretical ballast on the one hand. Even at the current stage of leadership studies and the recognition of the need to seek more universal, operational and culturally-based concepts, there is a lack of a theoretical model explaining the relationship between social culture and leadership effectiveness whether local or global, on the other
