Course SynopsisWelcome to our course on managing diverse teams and leading across cultures. In a globalised business environment such as ours, we believe that it is imperative for leaders to possess the leadership abilities and knowledge needed to lead effectively across cultures. You will learn how to leverage your cross-cultural experiences to increase your influence and effectiveness in different cultural contexts. You will gain an understanding of the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) framework, including the four CQ capabilities (Drive, Knowledge, Strategy, and Action) and how to apply them in the workplace. The course will also address the role of implicit bias in global organisations and how we can minimise it from eroding value in your organisation and undermining your effectiveness as a leader. Finally, you will learn how to create an action plan to develop critical CQ capabilities and to achieve your personal leadership development goals, so as to better meet the needs of your teams and organisations.
