Leadership is anchored in time, place and culture. All leaders have the responsibility to set direction and align people. Exactly how this is done varies from one culture and context to another. Global leaders must not only be effective in their host culture but across cultures as well.

Global Leadership calls for a global mindset and perspective that is characterized by :

• Drive for the bigger, broader picture
• Accept life as a balance of contradictions
• Trust process to solve problems
• Value multicultural teamwork
• View change as an opportunity
• Be open to change and new ideas

GCI’s Global Leadership Competence services (Executive Coaching Sessions, Business briefing and workshops for business delegations), helps leaders :

• Enhance the capabilities to negotiate, resolve conflicts, and establish lasting relationships beyond the barriers of culture.
• Develop reciprocal familiarity and sensitivity on cross cultural interactions — understanding the basis of WHY people of different cultural backgrounds do what they do.
• Gain insight on business norms and cultural expectations when working with a specific country.
