Why? The Challenge.

“Ninety percent of leading executives from 68 countries named intercultural leadership as the top management challenge for the next century” (The Economist).“Developing global leaders is rated as the most important HR deliverable for the future” (IBM Global Survey of Global CHROs, 2010).“Cultural differences can create substantial obstacles to effective teamwork—but these may be subtle and difficult to recognize until significant damage has already been done” (Harvard Business Review, 2006).
