About the Course

Whether you are currently a manager or not, you should now be ready to learn to play a leadership role in a multinational team. Leadership is more than management, and culture greatly affects what is expected of leaders. For instance, some cultures expect their leaders to give directives; others expect them to facilitate so that everyone on the team has a chance for their voice to be heard. No matter which way they lean, you are likely to hear “that’s just the way it’s done” if you try to shake things up. Leadership requires adapting your style to build comfort from team members with different backgrounds than yours while also helping change the narrative for people who don’t want to adapt to your strengths. You need to help others find the levers to pull that work for them to adjust to a cross-cultural environment. As leaders you also need to be constantly learning to prepare for the inevitable changes of the future? By looking into the future, how will different cultures grow, and how will climate change and technology fundamentally alter the line between physical and virtual space. What will all this mean for multinational team leadership in the future?...

Really enjoyed this course! It fit my needs as a member of a 'multinational cross-cultural' team in an international organization. I also liked that one of the courses was on virtual teams. Good videos. Each of the modules had a series of videos, discussion questions (sometimes with additional readings that were to the point but not very difficult), and ended with a quiz. When teaching I'd say, maybe replace some of the discussion questions by other assignments as I saw myself skipping many of the questions without impact on my grade but probably with impact on my learning, but as a student it was nice to be able to just reflect on a question without needing to share it with the world which would include privacy issues etc.

Thanks for a great course!

Amazing and interesting.

Few sections chould have been expanded a bit, as for example, how to implement leadership characteristics. One thing is to define them (and it was done) and a second is to show how people have shown or exercised them. Understand it's not easy, but it would help young manager to follow their own model.
