Leadership

Approaches to leadership vary across cultures. Global leaders today not only need to know how to inspire and lead people from a range of different cultures, but they also need to create ways to lead people with very different backgrounds simultaneously. Moreover, the challenge of twenty-first-century leadership is not simply business prosperity. Today’s leadership challenge is to design innovative approaches that simultaneously create successful companies and successful societies’ (Adler & Gundersen, Chp 6 p.174).

Discuss your experiences with leading across different cultures. What was effective and what was not.
