In today’s globalised world the role of a leader expands to another level. The ability to successfully lead and relate to people who think and behave differently becomes the key for individual and organisational success. Diversity is encouraged at the majority of workplaces today, but how well we utilise it depends on our inclusion practices, cultural intelligence skills and deeper understanding of cognitive diversity, not just diversity as a mixture of differences.
The Golden Rule “Treat others the way you want to be treated” is no longer serving us well in today’s world. Coming from different cultures, having different experiences and preferences when it comes to communication and feedback style, leadership and collaboration, addressing and resolving conflicts, we need to learn more about how others actually want to be treated. Whether you manage a local or distributed team, work with colleagues and clients based in other parts of the world, Global Leadership program will help you master your leadership in three fundamental areas:
Psychological Safety. You will learn and practice how to create a safe space for your people to openly share their thoughts and perspectives, express their vulnerability without the fear of being judged or punished. We will focus on mastering key competences and strategies that will support you in creating Psychological Safety at your workplace.
Cultural Intelligence. The ability to turn differences into synergies is crucial for project and people success. By developing and mastering your Cultural Intelligence you will gain a deeper understanding of working styles that people in your team and organisation have. It will help you nurture trust and understanding of your global colleagues and customers.
Diversity and Inclusion. Whether your workplace is homogeneous or multicultural, the way you work with diversity and inclusion drastically impacts the organisational culture, peoples’ integrity and loyalty. By starting with inclusion and addressing different layers of diversity, we will help you develop a better understanding of how to facilitate these processes to create an inclusive organisational culture where people feel valued and appreciated.
