Acknowledgments

We would like to recognize those who made important behind the scenes contributions to this volume. We are grateful to Niall Kennedy, publisher at Emerald Group Publishing, Inc. for his support and to Sophie Darling and the entire production team. Anu Sairaj at the Global Leadership Advancement Center merits special recognition for her role in coordinating and supervising the infinite details involved in manuscript preparation.

This book would not be possible without the funding Dr Osland received from the Lucas Foundation and their generosity to the Global Leadership Advancement Center, housed in the School of Global Innovation & Leadership at San Jose State University. She also extends her thanks to Dean Dan Moshavi, Prabha Chandrasekar, and Rick Zentler.

Sebastian Reiche gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness [ECO2015-68272-P (MINECO/FEDER)].

Mark Mendenhall is grateful for the support of the Gary W. Rollins College of Business and the J. Burton Frierson Chair of Excellence in Business Leadership at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga.

Research volumes like this one are seldom birthed without the support and sacrifice of the families. This volume is dedicated with special gratitude to them and to an extraordinary donor and an exemplary scholar whom we honor in memoriam.

• Joyce: To Asbjorn and our family. In memoriam, to Don Lucas, a remarkable man and entrepreneur who made a noteworthy contribution to the field of global leadership by funding research, Best Research Awards, and global leadership development.

• Sebastian: To my parents Kurt and Marion, and my three greatest sources of support and inspiration: Megan, Marie, and Louisa

• Betina: To my wonderful family: Lenny, Sammy, Martin, and Lidia, for their love, support, and patience.

• Mark: To Karsten Jonsen, a wonderful colleague who left us way too soon and whose correspondence and banter about football (soccer), FC Barcelona, the leadership style of José Mourinho, and the New Zealand All Blacks I deeply miss. Thank you, Karsten, for your humanity and your charity toward all who crossed your path.

We join Mark in honoring the memory of Karsten Jonsen who contributed so much to our field and our lives.
