Shifting isolated knowledge with innovative followership requires building qualities in judgment, work ethic, competence, honesty, courage, discretion, loyalty, and ego management. Strengthening innovative followership is “the ability to take direction well, to get in line behind a program, to be part of a team and to deliver on what is expected of you” (McCallum, 2013). Thus, relating to teammates as equals, as well as building a deeper rapport with customers, markets, and economies by giving recognition to the seamless information available around the world can enhance the global mind-set and broaden virtual closeness among GVT members. This understanding allows GVT member-leaders to recognize how others view information in an inclusive language approach that builds a sense of "nurturing values," and produces a positive image (Gupta, 2017; McGuire, Garavan, Cunningham, & Duffy, 2016). Therefore, GVT member leaders require a multidimensional leadership style and management practices that sustain commitment and motivation.
