East-West leadership workshops
intercultural skills for leadership teams
Lively, interactive and result-oriented intercultural leadership workshops that give seasoned executives global orientation, self-awareness, intercultural leadership methods and productive habits for successful expat assignments or leading culturally diverse international teams and projects.​
A leadership journey from self-discovery to practical plans
Based on cutting-edge behavioural assessment, individual needs surveys and highly interactive facilitation methods, East-West Leadership Workshops are shared development journeys for leadership teams from self-awareness to upgraded teamwork and cross-cultural leadership methods, and finally practical action plans for both individual and team performance in complex and culturally challenging situations.
​
Empowered by the experience of delivering customised programmes for over a hundred global firms in Asia and Europe, East-West Leadership Workshops participants return to daily leadership work with clarity about their individual and collective strengths, practical insight from case study discussions and realistic role-plays, and self-designed action plans for specific intercultural leadership situations.

How do East-West Leadership Workshops work?
Progressing through the three stages of AWARENESS, SKILLS and HABITS, East-West Leadership workshops help management, Human Resources or Learning & Development specialists and workshop participants work together towards the same skills development goals.
AWARENESS - We arrange an Orientation meeting with the client's executives, HR or L&D team, survey participant expectations and if agreed, create behavioural assessment profiles for each participant. Awareness-building continues at the beginning of the workshop in the form of reflection and goal-setting activities.
​
SKILLS - The workshop introduces intercultural leadership tools and applications selected according to Orientation and survey results. Skills may include cross-cultural communication, teamwork, delegation, motivation, feedback and conflict management. Custom programmes may include strategic planning, time management, stakeholder engagement, innovation and other areas.
​
HABITS - The last stage of each workshop builds productive new routines through intensive case study discussions and realistic roleplays. Participants practice skills they need the most after the workshop: consensus through challenging discussions, exchanging feedback and creating feasible action plans for individuals and the team.
​
We always customise, but here are sample topics included in 1 and 2-day workshops (click to expand):
Example: The flow of a 1-day or 2-day workshop programme
Preparation: A one-hour Orientation meeting with client, HR and/or superior(s) and an initial needs survey.
Awareness: The first 2 hours of each workshop day focus on self-awareness, current challenges and goals.
Skills: 2-3 hours of each workshop day introduce advanced tools and methods in selected skills, and their applications.
Habits: The remaining 2-3 hours of each workshop day are filled with interactive application and action-planning.
