The single most unique challenge of globalization is managing the myriad work and management styles companies face across geographies, businesses, functions and projects.
When global work styles clash, organizations can become dysfunctional and productivity can suffer. These clashes can cause social distance, which results in lower performance and lost revenues. Managers who are attuned to global work style differences can develop effective strategies to minimize the risks and maximize the opportunities present in the global marketplace.
A global leader is one who can effectively lead and manage organizations and teams across multiple geographies and cultures. This
course focuses on the mindset and the competencies required to leverage cultural and geographical diversity to create global competitive advantage.
