Current Issues in International Business

The Managing & Leading in a Multi-Cultural Workplace training course begins by examining culture, cultural differences and the ways in which values, assumptions and behaviour shape the workplace. It considers the relationship between national and organisational cultures before progressing to cultural awareness and cultural intelligence. The agenda then addresses diversity, perceptions, stereotypes and bias, establishing a basis for understanding how different cultural perspectives influence working relationships, management approaches and communication across a multicultural organisation.

The course continues with cross-cultural communication, including differing communication styles, verbal and non-verbal signals, listening, feedback and the potential causes of misunderstanding. Attention then shifts to managing and leading multicultural teams through trust, motivation, collaboration and the handling of conflict, while recognising differing expectations of leadership, authority and decision-making. The concluding topics bring these themes together through adaptable leadership and management approaches, the development of effective multicultural working relationships and consideration of individual actions for operating within a culturally diverse workplace.
