Navigating International Cultures

Send us a text

People are regularly asked to lead teams where members are located in different countries, to work on a task force with peers from different countries or to take an ex-pat assignment in a different country. While you may be an expert in some of the content of your role, you won’t be an expert in the subtle ways of working in an unknown culture. What are the common mistakes to avoid? How can you understand what other cultures expect from you? What can you do to get the best from your colleagues around the world?

💡 About the show:
There is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth. Business today typically values and promotes leaders for their subject expertise. Leaders who have command of the details and execute based on knowledge and experience are highly respected. However, to grow as a leader you have to get out of your comfort zone – that means learning to lead without just being the expert. Learn to gain the trust and respect of a team that might know more than you do. Get comfortable with ambiguity and with not having all the information. Develop the skills and confidence to lead in a different way.

For female leaders, subject expertise is usually the source of their confidence. Learning to lead outside your comfort zone is one step for breaking through the glass ceiling. The show’s purpose is to give you tips on how can you develop the capability to lead – to get out of your comfort zone.
