Effective Leadership Within A Multinational Environment

With so many organizations operating in a multinational environment today, it is easy to assume that the increasing connection among countries, and the globalization of corporations, would result in cultural differences disappearing or diminishing. Yet, on the contrary, as economic borders come down, cultural barriers often go up, thus presenting new challenges and opportunities in business. There are some universal leadership principles that have been identified as being very effective when employed specifically in a multinational environment. Interestingly enough, these are biblical principles that global businesses inadvertently use to achieve success.
