Oganizations have to pay due attention to the management of a diverse workforce and development of multicultural teams. This implies equipping employees with basic skills pertaining to cross-cultural awareness and competence to deal with cultural issues.
Leaders also have to motivate and develop people from different cultural backgrounds, experiences, and working styles to collaborate effectively across time zones. This is becoming a common phenomenon across several organizations.

This program focuses on understanding what it takes for leaders of different psychological type preferences to be effective when managing global teams. You will gain valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities presented by designing and managing cross-cultural teams.
