cross cultural programmes for international and global teams
Recent research has shown that 1 in 5 leaders have a multinational responsibility. First level leaders are typically involved in five countries, with executive level leaders covering up to 9 countries. This trend is stronger in Europe with 33% of Western European leaders having a multinational role versus 10% of North American leaders.
