Course Overview
Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in multicultural team management is earned separately. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on the wider organisational leadership agenda, which nobody trained them for. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the practice within organisational leadership, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of multicultural team management to standardise and which to leave flexible. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider organisational leadership agenda outperform teams that only plan it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the practice within organisational leadership, not around theory headings. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for multicultural team management, not for observers of it. A common pattern is strong design of this aspect of organisational leadership paired with weak follow-through. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of organisational leadership that participants can repeat annually.
