A Cross-National Comparison of Effective Leadership and Teamwork is a report on research jointly conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) and
SYMLOG Consulting Group. The research uses an assessment instrument, SYMLOG

United Kingdom (U.K.). Research findings support previous research conclusions that managers in some E.U. countries perceive unique value patterns in effective leaders.

The book is organized into four major sections. The first provides a summary of recent research on how value differences relate to perceptions of effective leadership across nations and cultures. As a reference, Appendix A presents earlier research on culturally based attitude and value differences.
The second section discusses the study 's research methods, sample, and procedures. The respondents were middle- and upper-level English-speaking

The respondents completed the SYMLOG instrument by rating twenty- six items about values associated with effective group leadership and membership. The final two areas describe the research results in detail, and then
