Influence and Lateral Leadership Across Cultures
Overview
Modern leaders and managers increasingly recognize the importance of being able to influence people over whom they don’t have formal authority. Because authority is becoming an ambiguous concept, contemporary leaders can no longer simply tell others what to do, particularly when facing common issues such as:
- Working across departments in a matrix and flat structure, where authority and responsibility are unclear.
- Working across cultures in multi-site or multinational organizations.
- Managing projects across national boundaries.
- Managing cross-functional and cross-cultural teams located in different countries.
- Trying to get ideas accepted upward and across organizations.
