Question
*Jextra has expressed interest in hiring you a manager for one (1) of its stores in Malaysia. You must fly to Malaysia to interview for the position. Determine the skills, strengths, or qualities that you possess, relative to the seven (7) dimensions of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) Model that would increase your odds of securing the position.

7 dimensions of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) Model:
Universalism versus particularism: The choice of dealing with other people based on rules or based on personal relationships.
2.Collectivism versus individualism: The focus on group membership versus individual characteristics.
Neutral versus affective: The range of feelings outwardly expressed in the society.
4.Diffuse versus specific: The types of involvement people have with each other, ranging from all aspects of life to specific components.
5.Achievement versus ascription: The assignment of status in a society based on performance (e.g., college graduation) versus assignment based on heritage.
The two final dimensions deal with how a culture manages time and how it deals with nature:
6.Past, present, future, or a mixture: The orientation of the society to the past, present, or future or some combination of the three.
7.“Control of” versus “accommodation with” nature: Nature viewed as something to be controlled versus something to be accepted
