Global Americans:
How American Norms and Values Impact Relationships in the Global Marketplace
Around the world, revenues are increasingly dependent on international transactions and for many American leaders, geographic isolation has resulted in limited global awareness. As a result, many American executives are embracing cultural education programs in an effort to bridge the gap and move down the cross-cultural education curve. Cross-cultural education's ROI is increasingly evident revenue leaps, increased market share, savvy reputations and worldwide brand recognition.
Nobody gets a second chance at a first impression and American leaders, in particular, come under particular scrutiny. When approaching diverse groups, as evidenced in the New York Times, the ability to understand and relate to cross-cultural norms is essential for effective interaction. Cross-cultural education can empower American leaders to intelligently and confidently interact, which is particularly advantageous in emerging markets. Get on board cultural knowledge and expansion is a critical value-add.
This program will help American leaders:
- Establish the link between cultural priorities, behavior and expectations
- Analyze the relationship between social values and cultural perceptions
- Self-evaluate and identify approaches to modify actions
- Identify socially acceptable subjects, topics to avoid and interaction tips
