What does effective leadership look like when you are working across different cultures, countries and ways of thinking? In this episode of Becoming the Leader in You, I sit down with Alistair Stevenson, Executive Strategy and Leadership Facilitator, to explore the realities of leading in diverse environments. Our conversation moves beyond leadership theory and into the practical challenges leaders face when working with people from different cultural backgrounds.
