The intercultural and international aspect of self-leadership have not been fully explored to date. Self-leadership has developed largely within the context of the culture of the USA. As a result, the usefulness and applicability of self leadership should be examined across a variety of international settings. Indeed, such efforts are already underway. For example, Georgianna recently reported a number of significant differences in the use of self leadership strategies between US and Chinese students. In a similar vein, Neubert and Wu(2006) examine the psychometric properties and construct validity of the Houghton and Neck Revised Self-leadership Questionnaire (RSLQ) in a Chinese context. This study investigates the extent to which self-leadership dimensions are generalizable across cultures, as well as addressing the issue of how to measure the existence and development of self-leadership practices across cultures. Finally Alves et al examine the culturally bounded nature of leadership and explore the applicability of self leadership the theory across cultures by drawing on Hofstede's cultural dimensions framework to address the question of how self-leadership may be understood and practised in the other culture.
