Culture is powerful. It's central to what we see, how we make sense of our world, and how we express ourselves. When people from different cultural backgrounds work together, values often conflict. At times that we don't understand each other we react in ways that make relationships less effective. We are often not aware that cultural differences are the cause of miscommunication and ineffective work practices. Global leadership needs to understand this and it needs to be different. Global leaders need to be highly skilled at accurately reading people and situations. We need to adjust personal behaviours to reflect the situation and be more effective.
