#519 Learning from Air Crashes: Insights to Manage Global Cross-Cultural Teams
Do you know your probability of dying from a commercial plane crash is directly related to which country the co-pilot is from? And how is this relevant to project management? In addition to unveiling the mystery, this presentation will equip you with practical insights to manage global, cross-cultural relationships better, especially those from cultures different from United States, drawing upon the work of organizational behaviorists Geert Hofstede and Erin Meyer—delivered in a story-telling style.

  • Apply leadership techniques to foster better trust and teamwork among cross-cultural global teams.
