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 domestic & international 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.
