performing well in a culturally complex world



About



In this 21st century, leaders must operate in a context of multicultural paradoxical complexity to achieve results. Therefore, performance is increasingly dependent on leaders who can be effective in a variety of situations with overlapping cultural contexts.


Cross-cultural conflict is rarely about facts. It is more often about the meaning, interpretation, and feelings that we and others carry across our 360-degree lives.


The barrage of overlapping cultures includes national, geographic, ethnic, and organizational contexts. It can also include diversity in gender, age, academic & vocational expertise, ideology, race, faith, and more. However, determining out of the total mix of overlapping competing cultures which context is the most influential on optimal effectiveness is a dilemma for leaders.

​

That is why it is not surprising to find research suggesting that reconciling cultural dilemmas is a distinguishing feature that differentiates more successful leaders from less successful leaders.


Centre for Leadership Effectiveness LLC is dedicated to strengthening performance of individuals, teams, and organizations by building deeper competencies to reconcile dilemmas found across culturally diverse situations for the following contexts:


​global operations of public, private, and not-for-profit organizations


advanced level university applications

​

domestic & international Christian multicultural ministries

​CQ and Everything DiSC assessments are available in individual, team, 360-degree versions, and more. Sample assessment reports are available upon request.



Centre Insight



For many organizations, they can feel they are already doing the smart things needed to strengthen competencies for stronger performance.


​However, sometimes an organization may feel they do not have sharp enough insight into the direct impact from their strength building effort.


​For these situations, using CQ and/or Everything DiSC assessments as an audit on readiness across an organizational context can deepen the insights on whether your current strength building efforts are leveraged in a way to optimize your effectiveness as intended.

Centre Summit for Multicultural Teams



Building up the CQ in your MCT.


Your MCT (multicultural team) lives in a culturally complex world. That complexity comes from the overlapping cultural context of nations, organizations, gender, race & ethnicity, faith, generations, occupational & educational expertise, and more.


The challenge for MCT is to create an environment that encourages team cohesion while honoring the unique contributions that people from diverse cultural backgrounds can offer.


This is an interactive in-person group experience to build up the CQ (cultural intelligence) in your MCT (multicultural team).




Centre Business for Christians


​The world suggests there is nothing in common between the purposes of business and the Christian faith.​ But consider this.....


​Business people say go and make a profit. Christians say go and make disciples. So results do matter for both.


However trying to integrate the cultures of buy & sell with love & serve presents dilemmas.


​Interactive in-person group experience focused on reconciling the core values between work & faith for Christian people to perform well in their culturally complex context.​​
