  • Intercultural leadership is international leadership plus alpha! Specifically, it is the ability to bridge and unify members of several different cultures. An intercultural leader is an individual who can expertly lead and upgrade business or government teams, divisions and organizations that have two or three national, ethnic, corporate, divisional or other kinds of multi-cultural groups into a unified group with a common strategic intent.

  • These world-class leaders can integrate and guide intercultural groups to reposition or reinvent themselves in changing situations, such as mergers & acquisitions, economic change, regulatory change, product/service line modification, and organization restructuring.

  • Transcultural leadership is the ability to integrate members of multiple distinct cultures in challenging situations. A transcultural leader is an individual who can masterfully design, upgrade, and lead business or government teams, divisions, organizations, and communities involving more than three national, ethnic, corporate, religious, political, or other kinds of groups into a unified group with a common strategic intent and implementation platform. The transcultural leader can then guide this unified group into extremely volatile and uncertain situations such as resource scarcity, market extinction, new market emergence, product/service evolution, conflict or power balance shifts, and paradigm shifts.

  • Intercultural and Transcultural Leaders have a “3-Dimensional” BEING orientation in addition to the DOING orientation of the international leader.
