Cross-Cultural Agility

In today’s workplace, geographic borders have become increasingly irrelevant, but cultural differences remain very real – and they often can get in the way of effective leadership.

In contrast, leaders who are culturally agile are able to respond to and perform well in varied and unfamiliar cultural contexts.
