Content Overview
Globalisation has led to the rapid connection of internationally based employees from all levels of multinational companies. Yet most managers have little understanding of how local culture impacts global interaction. Over this five-day course, either one or two half days will be devoted to each of these topics:
- Communicating and giving feedback across cultures
- Developing a global mindset
- Improving your global leadership capacity
- Strategies for working around the world
- Building a climate for high-performing global teams
- Persuading and motivating international colleagues
- Taking your organisational culture global
Leading Across Borders and Cultures demands active involvement in the uniquely multicultural environment that is the INSEAD campus. The content is based on INSEAD’s world-leading research in the field of cross-cultural management and global leadership – much of it carried out by the programme faculty members themselves.
The Culture Map
Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business
Used extensively in this programme, Erin Meyer provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business. She combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice for working in a global world - whether you need to manage culture, motivate employees, delight clients, or simply organise a conference call among members of a cross-cultural team, The Culture Map will help you improve your effectiveness.
Build global leadership expertise
Examine the unique dynamics and challenges of leading in global roles. Through case studies, class discussions, small-group work and simulations, you will examine success factors, reflect on your own profile, and then identify action steps to improve your capabilities.
Enhance cross-cultural effectiveness
Learn to decode cultural differences that affect your business’s success, avoid culture traps and bridge gaps. The programme director has conducted research and works from The Culture Map which benchmarks your own leadership style based on eight cross-cultural dimensions.
Understand your leadership style from multi-faceted insights such as country mapping, personal profiling, as well as team mapping frameworks and tools.
Improve virtual team management
It is the norm today for companies to have teams dispersed across countries, cultures and time zones – colleagues who are expected to work together while at the same time working apart. This programme will help you better structure teamwork and more effectively manage team members when each person is in a different location.
- Explore the unique benefits that global teams can bring to international organisations, if they are designed and managed effectively
- Maximise the performance of your global virtual team by implementing strategies that increase collaboration, trust and team effectiveness
- Create processes for overcoming barriers caused by language and time differences
