When it is not feasible to send an executive overseas for a lengthy period, the next most popular option is to provide training and education in the other culture. Companies go to great lengths to help their managers and executives become comfortable with other cultures, including bringing in native speakers, teaching a foreign language, immersion in the culture, and other types of education.
Encouraging diversityAs the global economy has grown and prospered, the workplace has become increasingly diversified. This presents a challenge to managers and leaders when trying to bring a diverse team of workers together. Change is hard for anyone, and changing to a diverse group is especially hard for some people.
As a leader, you can meet this challenge by educating and coaching your team to work together and learn about each other. This can be done in a formal team building activity, or in a more individualized way as part of everyday coaching and supervision. Combining both methods is even more effective.
