How is your Cross-Cultural Sensitivity?

Everything in China is Cross-Cultural! Chinese leaders need an international mindset for doing global business. Western expatriate managers in China often feel frustrated by the big cultural differences in the local teams they lead. Cross-Cultural Sensitivity impacts employee engagement and cross-cultural management effectiveness. Even experienced leaders in multinational companies have a tendency to over simplify the way they see and deal with people from other cultures. This Cross-Cultural Assessment helps you keep an open mind and look deeper into 8 key cultural dimensions that affect your cross-cultural leadership, management and communication.
