Enhance Cross-cultural, Executive and Senior Team Results

Supporting leaders in simultaneously honoring their personal values, beliefs and native leadership norms while adapting them to more effectively lead and collaborate within and among disparate organizational and geographic cultures

In today’s global business environment, it is common to have highly successful leaders from around the globe entering, leading and partnering within organizational and across geographic cultures not their own. Success of these leaders can be threatened if they are not aware of how their own culture, values, beliefs and leadership norms vary from those of their colleagues and therefore affect their own effectiveness.

Contact us to give your leaders the opportunity to raise their awareness, gain the knowledge, skills, agility, and concrete strategies to accelerate and enhance their effectiveness.

Unleash the Collaborative Power and Impact of Functional Leader-experts in Cross-functional Management Committees and at the Executive Table

Guiding and supporting functional leader-experts in expanding their strategic organizational understanding, rebalancing their focus and strengthening their ability to listen, partner and influence at this critical level

Leaders more often than not are promoted to the senior levels based on a proven track record of wisely leveraging their functional expertise. These individuals are extremely well regarded for the ability to provide swift, ‘yes-no’, ‘good-bad’, ‘right-wrong’ guidance and decisions. Once at the senior, organizational level, however, these same individuals are expected to re-calibrate thought processes and input, balancing their functional knowledge and perspectives with those of their colleagues, collaborating in a new way and working in alignment with the overall business vision and objectives.

Contact us to support your leaders in transitioning from powerful, functionally focused to strategic, organizationally focused leaders. We will work with them individually and with the teams in which they are members to create the strategic productivity and performance you seek.
