This trend is described as Globality at the corporate level. Executives who successfully operate domestically do not necessarily perform successfully overseas. There are extant researches on global leadership and executive competencies but lack of evidence on what competencies relate to business performance and what predictive competencies of global leaders are important. The purpose of present study was to propose higher globality would influence current, future performance, and the corporate performance. The background characteristics relating with higher globality and high performance were analyzed. The results showed that collaboration, global opportunities, and adjustment are related to current, future and corporate performance consecutively. Globality at the executive level, is defined as the integration of global leadership and executive competencies. Older executives with more travel/working/international working experience had higher globality and performance. The results of this study contribute to the field of global leadership research and it provides practical implications for organization seeking to improve their global leadership effectiveness in a dynamic and challenging worldwide business environment. 1 line spacing
