Crossing the Cultural Divide - Leading Across Boundaries
Culture, culture, culture! How different am I from someone residing in a different region? Are there any traits that we share in common?
What's in a culture? How do I know if I could function effectively in a multi-cultural work setting or adjust to work life in a different culture? How do I prepare myself for an overseas assignment?
The "Crossing the Cultural Divide - Leading Across Boundaries" programme will answer all these questions that many of our business leaders are asking today. The programme is part of Spark Asia's leadership development offers that serves to sharpen business leaders' cultural sensitivity in work settings. It goes far beyond the usual "Do's and Don'ts" that characterizes many of the cross-cultural workshops available in the market today. It's highly effective, relevant and inspirational!!
