The article explores the strategic role of global leadership in shaping enterprise competitiveness within the modern global economy. The authors analyze the transformation of leadership approaches from local to global levels, driven by deepening international economic integration and the increasing complexity of the business environment. It is argued that traditional leadership models – based on homogeneous cultural contexts and centralized decision-making – are ineffective when managing multicultural, geographically dispersed teams. Modern global leadership requires a fundamental shift in mindset: from operational control to strategic vision, from authoritarian management to collaboration, and from local expertise to intercultural intelligence. The article identifies the key competencies of an effective global leader: cultural intelligence as the ability to recognize and appropriately respond to cultural differences; adaptive communication styles; strategic thinking for synthesizing information from diverse sources; the ability to delegate authority; and fostering an innovative organizational culture. The study provides an in-depth analysis of competitiveness factors in the global economy, shaped by the complex interaction of three key groups: macroeconomic conditions (geopolitical dynamics, trade agreements, currency fluctuations), microeconomic efficiency (innovation, operational excellence, product quality), and digital technologies (big data analytics, artificial intelligence, digital platforms). Particular attention is paid to the role of digital transformation in reshaping the nature of global leadership. The authors show how digital technologies enable new tools for managing distributed teams, accelerating decisionmaking processes, and personalizing customer engagement, while simultaneously demanding new competencies in data management and understanding the potential of artificial intelligence. The findings demonstrate that successful global leaders act as integrators – combining local expertise with global strategy – capable of adapting to diverse cultural contexts and creating synergy among varied teams, thereby turning cultural diversity into a competitive advantage. The study underscores the need for a holistic approach to developing global leadership, one that integrates intercultural competence, strategic thinking, technological literacy, and change management skills. Enterprises that invest in developing these leadership qualities gain significant competitive advantages through greater adaptability to market changes, enhanced innovation capacity, and more effective utilization of global opportunities.
