Global leaders belong to multiple functional systems within and outside their organizations. By the so-called Global Netship, via networking, they turn – in the center - into important agents in building organizational structures and processes as well as building communities in the context of temporal, geographical and cultural complexity. These global leaders can be observed, as defined by Global Eliteship, as a global elite, who follow the dynamics of the systems, and therefore fulfill translation functions, and are able to translate economics into forms understandable for media, politics and science (Nassehi 2004).

In her research Dr. Angelica V. Marte identified six global competences of global leaders (2010):

• Secure handling of uncertainty and complexity
• Fast process orientation
• Stable adressing
• Multilinguality regarding habitus, language etc. pp. and multiple belonging to multiple functional systems (function of translation of economics into politics, culture, arts, science)
• Chameleonity
• Observance and handling of differences (Diversity)

In addition there are two global dynamics in Global Leadership:

• Global Netship (internal and transnational networking) and
• Global Eliteship (accumulation of cross-cultural and social capital as part of the global economic elite)

Dr. Angelica V. Marte developed three different roles for Global Leaders: global entrepreneur, internal/external diplomat, reflected leader

Through formats such as the global management appraisal, which Dr. Angelica V. Marte offers together with her interdisciplinary network at the Zeppelin University, high potential leaders can be identified and qualified to be continuously developed to become global leaders.
