Thanks for comment, very interesting point and much appreciated. Indeed the more the world “Globalises” the more we have to be prepared, and willing to adjust our own “way of thinking” and “communication style,” especially when going on overseas placements. Leadership development is a huge area, with so many suggested leadership styles, but again, as with all global business issues cultural differences play a huge role in how successful a particular leadership style may be. Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects modern leaders face is motivating and communicating with multi-national teams, when quite often, a different style is needed on an individual basis, due in large part to, cross cultural differences in behaviours and expectations.
