Employees in healthy cultures thrive. These cultures are created and passed down, inherited by the next generation of employees. The strongest leaders know to focus on a long-term strategy with an emphasis on corporate culture health for future generations to sustain and thrive within.
Dima Ghawi worked with Fortune 20 corporations and diverse teams around the world for two decades. Through her assignments in 19 countries, working with IBM in Leadership Training and Development, she gained critical insights into leading global teams. She recognized that bold leadership, employee engagement, and DEI were not only inextricably linked, but they were also crucial across cultures.
Her experience has given her deep insights on how to be an effective leader in today’s global age:
START WITH TRUST TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS: Trust is the basis for nearly all healthy relationships, and receiving trust begins with giving it.
HIGHLIGHT SIMILARITIES: It is easy to focus on cultural differences, but leaders must understand their team and pay attention to universal similarities.
BE ADAPTABLE: Leaders must be able to adapt quickly to their team’s cultures and understand what they value. |
