Overview
Setting the right direction as a leader and then motivating and aligning people along the way is a tough challenge for any leader. Achieving this in unfamiliar cultural contexts within a global operating environment creates an extra layer of complexity. Yet the ability to integrate global strategy with local perspectives is increasingly the responsibility of individual leaders undergoing international careers on behalf of their organisations.
This documentary video shows Kai Bendix, Managing Director of Beiersdorf’s Nivea India-affiliate, facing three challenges to his leadership, six months after setting up the company in Mumbai.
The aim of this multicultural training video
- Recognising the challenge of leading people in an unfamiliar cultural context, and the qualities required to be successful
- Reflecting on the degree to which you can transfer leadership experience from one environment to another
- Responding to three specific leadership challenges faced by a German leader working in India
- Understanding how this leader actually responded, and the links to influencing and authenticity
The video is divided into learning chapters that will enable the learner to first understand the complexity of the leadership choices Kai faces, before learning what actions he took and the consequences of those actions.
