LEADING ACROSS CULTURES?
Culture Matters
Your credibility as a leader, regardless of gender distinctions, has its roots in the
culture of the country you’re working in, as much as it does in the culture of your
workplace itself. In countries like the UK and the US, for example, rising leaders are
expected to be more authoritative, while in Asia, a more reserved style is expected.
In short, your words and behavior as a leader are interpreted based on your listener’s
cultural orientation.
Not understanding the cultural norms and expectations around leadership presence
and communication style in a global environment has high costs. It makes your team
building efforts challenging at best, and at its worst, can cost you your job.

LEADING ACROSS CULTURES?
Master the “pivot”
“Pivoting” among stakeholders is a core competency of global executives, according to an HBR
study of leaders and rising talent in 11 global markets. The data shows that for both men and
women credibility comes from adapting one’s style to local norms of “executive presence.”
For example, HBR author Erin Meyer illustrates how managers in different parts of the world
give feedback in drastically different ways:
The Chinese manager learns never to criticize a colleague openly or in front of others, while the
Dutch manager learns always to be honest and to give the message straight. Americans are
trained to wrap positive messages around negative ones, while the French are trained to
criticize passionately and provide positive feedback sparingly.

If you’re a woman,you need to pay even more attention
While pivoting is an essential leadership skill for both men and women, research shows that
women have more to master. They have to understand and adapt to not only cultural
norms, but also the gender nuances of these norms – the differences in how men and
women leaders are expected to behave — within the same culture.
HBR authors Hewlett and Rashid explain with this example,
When it comes to delivering a compelling message, women in emerging markets are
expected to guide rather than direct listeners to a conclusion – the reverse of what is
expected of men.
WWW.CYNTHIAINDRISO.COM
LEADING ACROSS CULTURES?
In Japan, 61% of respondents in a study say women should guide listeners. It’s even higher in
China,where 78% say women shouldn’t be direct in stating their conclusion.
Use a coaching approach
Teaching our client leaders with multicultural teams a coaching mindset and coaching skills
is the fastest way of gauging what’s behind and underneath the words they’re hearing. In our
blog posts on giving feedback and receiving feedback, for example, you’ll find our best
tips for practicing this to help you assess both how well your message is landing and your
understanding of what you’re hearing.

LEADING ACROSS CULTURES?
But don’t stop at feedback conversations. Bringing a coaching mindset and skillset to any
and every relationship interaction will increase your executive presence, influence, and
leadership effectiveness. It’s the best and most reliable methodology we know that can help
you lead better across cultures. It enables you to transcend differences in cultural norms as
well as their gender nuances. Stay tuned for more blog posts from us on more coaching
