Listen "Navigating Cultural Differences for Global Managers with Melissa Lamson | Ep #45"
Episode Synopsis
Great managers focus on communication, interaction, engagement and motivation to get the most out of their teams. But do those tools work universally when you are managing globally? The good news is that the tools don't really change, but HOW we use them across different cultures absolutely does. Melissa Lamson, diversity management specialist and author of six books on DEI, joins the podcast to show you how to approach the challenges of managing globally by drawing upon real world examples from first-hand experience around the globe. She addresses cross-cultural differences in direct vs softer approaches to feedback, dealing with time zones, virtual meeting pitfalls, and even how to adjust for the local evening news!
