Episode Details

In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom and Tomas are joined by Steve and Brian McKinney, authors of Global Mindset: A Guide for Cross-Cultural Leadership, to explore what it really takes to lead effectively across cultures.

They discuss why global leadership requires more than simply understanding different countries and customs, and how curiosity, humility and adaptability can help leaders see beyond their own cultural assumptions. Steve and Brian share practical examples from their extensive experience working across the US, Korea and other global markets, including how leaders can use coaching-style questions and active listening to navigate cultural differences and resolve conflict.

The conversation also explores the importance of understanding your own culture, the dangers of assuming that one approach will work everywhere, and how leaders can leverage cultural differences rather than simply tolerate them.

A fascinating conversation for anyone leading across borders, working in international teams or looking to develop a more effective global mindset.
