Patricia Uptegrove - Being Part of the Global Experience
We don't have to move our products and services outside Canada to be part of the global experience; employees from all parts of the world bring their expertise, knowledge and culture right to our door. Managing teams consisting of diverse cultures can be a challenge even in the most diligent and conscientious organizational environment. Get it right and we gain unique, valuable and motivational thinking. Get it wrong and we suffer poor morale, poor performance and high attrition rates. This session will bring awareness and understanding to managers across all business environments. The theoretical basis for managing across cultures is outlined and real world strategies are discussed.
