Intercultural Leadership

For many of us, connecting with people across the world is now easy and commonplace. But coming into contact with different ways of doing things means losing our superpower of giving meaning to what is happening around us, interacting skilfully and building rapport.

In the first part of this book, Sierk Horn shows how intercultural interactions set in motion psychological processes. The second part deals with the behavioural determinants of intercultural communication. The third part examines our social environment and how we deal with cultural differences.

The book wants to make you curious about intercultural leadership. It invites you to explore humanistic perspectives in everyday communication. A wealth of exercises will accompany you on your learning journey.

An extensive range of online resources and learning and teaching materials accompany the textbook.
