Abstract: There have been many approaches to leadership including the trait approach, the behavioral approach, the power-influence approach and the situational approach.We live in a networked world where it is important for leaders to be comfortable with uncertainty, communication across cultural lines, and knowing important elements from both Western and Eastern leadership strategies. Purpose of the Study:The purpose of this study was to determine the scores of incoming doctoral students in organizational leadership on the Schmieder Global Mindset Inventory.This inventory determines the level of global sensitivity on a 50 point inventory.This is important because of the significance of possessing a global mindset as a CEO of a non-profit, NGO, or profit-making organization which has international ties.The EdD in Organizational Leadership and the new PhD in Global Leadership and Change at Pepperdine University both have the themes of "global leadership" in the programs.
