Lead in Multiple Continents/Multiple Cultures
“My responsibilities span several continents and cultures. How do I ensure that I truly hear what each is saying? How do I ensure that they truly hear what I am saying? How do I get them all aligned? How do I stay on top of this throughout the year?”
Global Advantage Can Help You With All or Part of The Following
- Prioritize your most important messages.
- Isolate the impact of each message on each leader’s perceived status.
- If possible, identify cross-cultural allies within each culture to act as cultural “translators” of your most important messages.
- Identify the objective, databased indicators of success and excellence for your organization overall.
-
Build a thoroughly customized summit that engages all key players. This summit will:
- Involve all participants in novel, dignified activities that help them experience real-time how each perceives the same thing differently because of their different cultures.
- Based on (a), upgrade the listening skills of each key player.
- Involve each leader in articulating your key messages in forms that will make the most sense to their culturally specific audience.
- Involve all leaders in building a one- to two-year alignment campaign that surfaces misalignment and corrects that and surfaces alignment and celebrates that.
