As these examples illustrate, dynamics in our global society are increasingly spilling over into the workplace. The need for practical, relevant, and usable information about how to lead in our increasing flat world is in high demand. This training tool provides examples of and perspectives on concepts and situations important to leading across differences. With 14 rich cases gleaned from interviews of over a hundred people in over twenty organizations on five continents, the authors offer new ways of thinking about leadership challenges. Each case includes a case summary, case text, facilitation questions, expert perspectives on the case, and suggestions for further action, participants will experience a variety of situations and will be exposed to multiple sets of commentaries to help them make sense of the issues and possibilities associated with leading across differences. The authors guide facilitators through a process of not providing participants with the "right" answer for all possible situations, but rather a framework and process for better understanding their context and taking appropriate action.
