Working effectively across cultures
Organisations are more global than ever before. For some, this will involve working with teams in different time zones, multi-lingual meetings with partners from different countries or leading remote or virtual teams. For others, this may simply mean working with managers, staff and stakeholders who have a range of experiences, values and cultures.
Your challenge as a manager is how to engage, communicate and lead people who have such a range of voices. This one-day management course has been designed not to list cultural differences and predict clashes but to talk about how you can create an environment that is inclusive, recognises different styles and focuses on tools and strategies to enable collective planning and collaborative working.
