Cross-Cultural Communication in Leadership


Listen Later

Whether an organization’s teams are centered in a single city or dispersed across the world, cultural differences inevitably emerge. For leaders accustomed to knowing the answers and acting on their singular understanding of situations, it can be difficult to recognize these differences, much less level up the listening skills needed to address them for the good of their organization.

For more than 10 years, Hawa Kombian has worked within and alongside companies in Canada, Ghana, and more, using her expertise in cross-cultural competency and communication to help her clients achieve operational sustainability and social vibrancy through customized results-driven cultures of connection. In this episode, Hawa and I delve into the compassionate approach she teaches to guide leaders and their teams in this important work. 

Explore the essential impact of cross-cultural competency on the future of work with:

  • Why listening is the key to positive change in any organization;
  • How to lead with cross-cultural compassion in today’s remote workplaces;
  • The need for humility in leaders championing long-term change;
  • How we can redefine the legacy of leadership.
