Effective Global Leadership

Why attend 'Effective Global Leadership'? Operating globally is now the norm for most large organisations and often in increasingly diverse geographies. Organisations that are successful internationally require their managers and leaders to adopt a global mindset. Styles and approaches that work well at home when leading organisations or managing people are often less effective in a global context. Effective global leaders are able to flex their natural style and adapt their default behaviours when necessary according to the culture and context where they are working.

Communicaid's two day 'Effective Global Leadership' course will improve your global leadership skills by increasing your understanding of culture and how it impacts cross-cultural communication, working relationships and leadership styles. You will have the opportunity to develop strategies to understand and improve your global leadership style and be better equipped to appropriately and effectively respond to any cross-cultural challenge as a global leader.
