Episode Synopsis

We have talked about culture a lot on previous episodes. But deliberately without too much structure. There are so many ways to talk about culture but today we’re unpacking Geert Hofstede’s six dimensions of culture, one of the most influential frameworks for understanding how culture shapes behavior, leadership, and organizations.We are going to answer questions such as:Why do negotiations break down between teams from different countries?Why does one culture prize hierarchy while another pushes equality? Why listen?To gain insight into how culture shapes trust, communication, motivation, and decision-making. All are critical for effective leadership in diverse environments. Cocktail of the Week: The Winter Pimm’sIngredients:100g brown sugar1 star anise1 cinnamon stick4 cloves150ml water1 lemon2 clementines150ml Cointreau1.25 bottles of light red wine, such as a Beaujolais.#Culture #Leadership #Hofstede #GlobalLeadership #InterculturalCommunication #CulturalIntelligence #WorkplaceCulture #DiversityandInclusion
