SIGNATURE PROGRAM
CROSS CULTURAL SAVVY
Organizations by their very nature are a blend of people and culture. Globalization has catapulted people from different cultures into shared physical and virtual spaces in homes, relationships, schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces. Often, as organizations seek to define and build a cohesive workforce identity as a common bond between all employees, they end up diminishing the power and potential of ‘difference’.
21st century leadership requirements
Effective leaders for the 21st century need to know how to navigate and thrive in culturally diverse, change-filled, and complex environments. They should understand the impact of intercultural communication on perceptions, attitudes, and values. They should refrain from judging others by the way they speak or behave. And they should know how to recognize and reduce cross-cultural tensions and conflicts in order to achieve maximum potential and performance of their people.
Objective and benefits
This highly interactive workshop is designed to develop the skills and capacities needed for cross-cultural effectiveness and agility.
