The Cultural Dimension of Leadership
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
What makes you a good leader? The answer to this question varies significantly from country to country. Think about it this way: Would George W. Bush have been elected in Canada? Not a chance. Would Jean Chrétien have been elected in the USA? No way. Yet, they were both elected and re-elected in their home countries. When choosing a leader, Americans want someone who has a vision and the ability to implement this vision (including the ability to force their opponents to accept their vision). In contrast, Canadians want someone who can find solutions that everyone can live with. While most leadership models tend to consider that the characteristics that make people good leaders are universal, this example suggests, and our experience and research demonstrate, otherwise.
This Interactive session is designed for anyone who leads or wants to lead culturally different people because the organization they lead is culturally diverse, global or both. It explores how cultural differences impact several critical elements of leadership, such as managing projects, helping teams reach their full potential, making decisions, managing conflicts within a group or an organization, and building trust. By combining powerful diagrams, insightful anecdotes and practical tools, this interactive session helps participants determine how they can adapt their approach to leadership to increase their influence on the culturally different people they want to lead – be they clients, employees or other stakeholders.
