A GLOBAL LEADER FACING CULTURAL DIFFERENCES – IV

The Global Leader Keeps Curiosity Towards Other Cultures

Informal meetings between entrepreneurs or “networking events” is one of the activities in which the global leader faces cultural differences.

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

How do you extend your frontiers with entrepreneurs from different organizations?

For example, in the city of Miami, where I live, the chambers of commerce, as well as business’ organizations hold conferences and events for large and small groups on a weekly basis.

The vision of these events is to bring together entrepreneurs and business owners, from all types of industries, under one roof with the desire to expand their knowledge, improve their strategies, and build new and valuable business relationships.

How can belong to different groups of entrepreneurs benefit you?

Clearly, building business relationships is crucial to sustaining and growing any business. Among the greatest benefits are:

  1. Through networking with other entrepreneurs, you can learn about the different corporate culture practiced today and improve your business’ culture.
  2. You can make your business idea known and position your business.
  3. Being associated with entrepreneurs from various industries allows you to understand their business needs.
  4. In the same way, you can find other entrepreneurs who can meet your business needs.

How is the curiosity of the global leader fundamental in a business association?

Needless to say, curiosity has always been one of the greatest engines of the advancement of humanity and the starting point of every entrepreneur. Albert Einstein said: “I have no special talents, but I am deeply curious.”

We have enough examples of successful global leaders, which prove that curiosity can lead a person to expand their knowledge. Even more so, they used curiosity as a fundamental element in business development and success.

Curiosity in the global leader will allow:

  1. Innovation. In the changing environment in which globalization moves us daily, the leader who keeps curiosity about the different ways of doing things is the one who finds new ways to innovate systems, services, or products.
  2. Connection. In order to influence others, it is essential to know how to connect with them, especially in the multicultural environment in which we live. Leaders who have learned the art of connecting with others are curious about them. In addition, they have the ability to communicate their ideas persuasively, establish immediate acceptance, attract followers, create and maintain successful teams, and lead organizations to success.

  3. Perspective. Curiosity is what allows you to be connected to the world that surrounds you and to be aware of the best technologies, developments, and advances. Thus, you have a better perspective to provide the right solutions.

Every entrepreneur and organization has their own culture. Cultural differences are not a barrier to the global leader; on the contrary, they are the opportunity to grow and extend borders.

Question:  How can you extend your influence, using curiosity?
