How to Bridge Cultures and Lead Global T...

DAVID GREEN
About this episode

What if the way you give feedback, run meetings or make decisions was holding your global team back—without you even realising it?  


Cultural differences influence how we work in powerful ways, and understanding them is the key to unlocking better collaboration and leadership. 


So, in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green sits down with Erin Meyer, professor at INSEAD and author of The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business, to explore how cultural differences shape the way we work, lead and collaborate. 


Join them as they uncover: 


  • The eight dimensions of culture and how they impact leadership and teamwork 
  • How organisations can use The Culture Map to navigate cultural complexities 
  • Strategies for bridging high-context and low-context communication styles 
  • Practical approaches to giving and receiving feedback across cultures 
  • Aligning hierarchical and egalitarian leadership styles in global teams 
  • Navigating cultural differences in time management and decision-making 


If you’re leading a global team or working across cultures, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to help you sharpen your cultural intelligence and lead more effectively.
