A number of factors need to be considered in carrying out multicultural leadership. Among these is the organization culture the set of values and behavior that define on organization, to be considered also are personal attributes. Different employees possess different attributes and they should be accepted just as they are. Nature of the industry and national culture also need to be considered. 3.
