The Cross-Cultural Compass
How to Boost Your Cross-Cultural Leadership
  • Price: 1.99
  • Release date: Nov. 21, 2013
We actively try to engage, involve and motivate colleagues from other cultures, but are not always aware as to how our behavior is perceived by them. We try to spot and observe cultural differences, but we know that noticing these differences is not the same as creating effective relationships.

We manage to establish collaboration and teamwork, but still feel a lack of trust and openness.

• How do you move people from ‘knowing we are different’ to ‘knowing how to work together successfully’?
• Why perceptions are not the same as facts, but equally important?
• Which key leadership traits foster your cross-cultural competence?
• How can you turn cultural differences into strengths?

The Cross-Cultural Compass provides answers that will boost your cross-cultural competence as a leader!
