Become more culturally competent in an increasingly diverse world
Recent years have seen dramatic changes to several institutions
worldwide. Our increasingly interconnected, digitized, and
globalized world presents immense opportunities and unique
challenges. Modern businesses and schools interact with individuals
and organizations from a diverse range of cultural and national
backgrounds--increasing the likelihood for miscommunication, errors
in strategy, and unintended consequences in the process. This has
also spilled into our daily lives and the way we consume
information today. Understanding how to navigate these and other
pitfalls requires adaptability, nuanced cross-cultural
communication, and effective conflict resolution. Use Your

range of topics--teamwork, leadership styles, information sharing,
delegation, supervision, giving and receiving feedback, coaching
and motivation, recruiting, managing suppliers and customers, and
more--helps you manage the essential aspects of international
