existing leadership preparation programs in the USA and other countries; and to understand the

globally minded school leadership.
Design/methodology/approach – The purpose of this paper is to ascertain, describe, and compare
the components of existing leadership preparation programs in the USA and other countries; and
to understand the policy-based processes, challenges, and needs of support for program development
for conceptualizing globally minded school leadership.
Findings – Limited growth regarding globally minded school leader research and development can
be accounted for. Furthermore the increasing internationalization of university programming to
include expanded course offerings and greater opportunities of international exchanges that bring
students face-to-face with perspectives different from those indigenous to their home cultures speaks
directly to the need for a shift in leadership preparation to better address the impact of globalization
and intercultural exchange on youth learning in schools.
Originality/value – An intercultural analysis of leadership preparation programs with a focus on
globally minded leadership is a new endeavor. The findings can be used to inform the next generation
of policy formation for twenty-first century leadership preparation program development.
