90-minute webinar
This interactive session focuses on three key cultural dimensions that influence business relationships and management styles. Perception of power and hierarchy influences one’s communication style, decision- making and project management. At the same time, our inner beliefs about collaboration and individual competition determine the way we build teams, delegate, and share information and knowledge.
Prerequisite: having attended the introductory session on ‘Understanding cultural difference’.
