GVT member leaders require the gift of connecting to the beyond (i.e., past consciousness and ego into the vastness of creative wisdom) and into self-discovery free from cultural and principle dependencies (Makarius & Larson, 2017) to better recognize, direct, and maintain cognitive resources in a global virtual work environment. Thus, intercultural, multicultural, cross-cultural, virtual teams and global virtual teams require living or live interactions that cover a broad range of intelligences that are both emic (specific) and etic (universal) to produce human growth (Earley & Ang, 2003; Zohar, 1997). These often cover or include competencies such as: knowledge, traits and values, which encompass behaviors and skills in self-leadership (Jokinen, 2005).
