Leading Across Cultures: Mastering Communication in Global Teams
AIA - 1 LU
This session explores the challenges and opportunities of leading multicultural teams, with a focus on distinguishing cultural patterns from individual personality traits. Attendees will gain practical insights into how cultural differences shape communication, decision-making, and team dynamics, and how to balance cultural sensitivity with personal interaction styles.
Through interactive discussions and case studies, participants will examine how cultures approach hierarchy, decision-making, and conflict resolution - and how these patterns intersect with individual personalities. This deeper understanding equips leaders with strategies that account for both cultural and personal dimensions of team interaction.
Moving beyond theory, the session offers practical tools for building inclusive environments that respect cultural sensitivities while encouraging individual expression. Participants will learn communication strategies that bridge cultural and personality differences, helping leaders create stronger, more cohesive teams that leverage their diversity as a strength.
