View computer requirements for participating in this webinar
One of the complexities of leading in a global setting is that people have different ideas about the essence of good leadership. It is hard to be effective when your image of effective leadership is very different from that of your colleagues. Differences in such expectations can cause significant problems in organizations. This webinar looks at how images of leadership vary across the world. It addresses the importance of managing expectations when people from different cultures, nationalities, and backgrounds must work together.
In this session you will learn:
- the importance of understanding what kind of leadership people expect, whether or not you try to meet their expectations
- different approaches to leadership found across the globe
- leadership approaches that are expected across all cultures and those that are not
- ways to discover others' leadership preferences and compare them to your own
Maximizing the Value of the Webinar
- Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
- Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
- Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
