The term value can be asserted to be both locally and globally sensitive. The question is whether global and local necessarily oppose one another or are supporting processes. The answer to this question in the mind of a leader is vital because it is likely to affect his/her reasoning and behaviour. There is a common agreement in the related literature that values of the leaders are affected by many variables such as family, friends, religion, education, the media, geographic roots, technology, and current events and on the other hand, their values have a strong affect on their perceptions of situations, the solutions generated regarding problems, interpersonal relationships, perceptions of individual and organizational successes, perception of ethical and unethical behaviours, their attitude towards organizational pressures and goals and their managerial performance. So to say, values have the potential and the power to affect the perceptions of appropriate ends, but also the perceptions of the appropriate means to those ends. The purpose of this article is to examine the existing literature regarding the dilemma between local and global values in leadership and further, to draw outcomes for future of educational leaders.
