S5-Ep9: Global Leadership - Research, Practice, & Development

Guests: Allan Bird & Joyce Osland

It’s hard enough leading a small local team; imagine running a team that stretches across continents!

 

That’s exactly what global leaders must do. But from what motivates people to varying labor laws, cultures vary wildly around the planet, so leadership styles must adapt with them. How can a global leader do it all?

 

Guests Allan Bird and Joyce Osland have some answers. They’re specialists in researching global leadership, and their insights may surprise you!

Here's what Allan, Joyce, and Maureen cover:

1. How do local cultures make a unified company culture so difficult (or easier)?
2. What is it about our international world that makes leading globally so challenging? And
3. How do we develop leaders who are skilled in managing global changes?
