Leading people from different cultural backgrounds can be incredibly rewarding, but it also brings unique challenges.
People's expectations about leadership, communication, teamwork and decision making are often influenced by the cultures they've grown up in.
In this episode, I explore Geert Hofstede's well-known cultural dimensions framework and discuss how leaders can use it as a guide to better understand their teams, while avoiding the trap of stereotyping individuals.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why culture can influence how people behave at work
The six cultural dimensions identified by Geert Hofstede
How power distance can affect communication with leaders
Why individualistic and collectivist cultures approach teamwork differently
How different cultures respond to uncertainty, achievement and long-term thinking
Why cultural frameworks should be used as a guide, not a label
