Global leadership training

Our cultural background has a huge influence on our expectations of a leader and on leadership. The definition of a strong and good leader is culture dependent, and without the knowledge of how our definitions differ from each other, we risk misunderstandings occurring and insecurity associated with leadership.

Cultural training in global leadership (Management of employees abroad) gives you an insight in to how your perception of leadership can differ from your employees. You become wiser about your own personal preferences and your own personal leadership style and you gain tools to lead your global employees in a culturally intelligent way.

You should choose this training if

  • You are a manager for employees with another cultural background than your own
  • You are a manager for employees with different cultural backgrounds

This training will give you, amongst other things

Specific knowledge about

  • What influence culture has on expectations of leadership style and the decision making process
  • How you can become a culturally inclusive leader
  • How you target your communication to the receiver and the context
  • Why the classical Danish non-hierarchical leader in some cultural contexts can be seen as a weak leader

Competencies to

  • Build trust as a global leader
  • Motivate your international employees in a culturally intelligent way
  • Give appropriate feedback
  • Take advantage of the competencies and the potential that a multicultural team contains
  • Put strategies in place for culturally inclusive leadership

I worked with ConnectingCultures in preparation for an overseas leadership posting in India. In one day I got a great overview, much good advice and useful feed-back on observations already acquired. All at a high level and very much worth its while.

Signe trained me for a full day in South American business culture. She is very knowledgeable and customer oriented – she easily found out what to focus on to fit my specific needs. Signe is a warm and outgoing person and very pleasant to work with. I enjoyed the training tremendously and can highly recommend her!

I happen to be the Head of Nordics and Benelux for a about two years for a business for UCB. I came from India, straight out of India to Northern Europe, as you call it in UCB. That was a big cultural swift, and thank you very much for all the support and help that you have given. I remember two calls that I had when I was based in Mumbai, actually. And it really helped me in terms of acclimatizing to Scandinavia, and not only that, all the presentations and workshops that you had regarding the rest of Europe, am I experiencing now due to my European role today.
