Coaching across cultures
...strengthens individual capability to influence, develop people and lead change on an international, often global, scale.
Today's increasingly global workforce poses a set of complex challenges to effective leadership and working practices. With organisations and individuals often spread across different countries and continents, successful managers are expected to lead, manage, coach and develop people effectively across cultures: dealing with the ambiguities, resistance and barriers that naturally arise from widely differing geographies, languages and belief systems.
FPG's specialist 'Coaching across Cultures' programmes are individually tailored to transform yesterday's competent local or regional managers into highly-aware and hugely-effective international or global leaders who become a driving force in meeting and managing ambitious international plans and targets.
