In an era of rapid globalization, intercultural communication competence (ICC) has become a critical factor in
leadership success and organizational performance. This study empirically investigates the relationship between ICC,
global leadership, and team effectiveness in Uzbekistan, a country undergoing significant economic and institutional
changes. A quantitative research approach was employed, gathering data from 300 professionals across public and
private sectors through structured surveys. Statistical techniques including descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation,
independent-sample t-tests, ANOVA, and chi-square tests were used to test the study’s hypotheses. Results demonstrate
significant differences in ICC based on demographic variables such as gender, age, education, and work experience.
Furthermore, individuals in high-performing teams and organizations practicing inclusive leadership were found to
have higher ICC scores. The findings highlight the strategic importance of ICC training for enhancing global leadership
capabilities and managing multicultural teams, with practical implications for organizational success in the Uzbek context
