Here at Parkhouse Training, we come into contact with many individuals who work for global, multi-cultural organisations. Some are already leaders, and others are well on their way to becoming tomorrow’s leaders.
Each organisation represented will have a corporate culture. That is to say, they will each have a shared set of attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterise the organisation in question, and shape their corporate strategy.
Culture within an organisation is often regarded as something intangible, or difficult to clearly define. And because of this, it is not given as much importance as it should be. But to treat culture within your organisation lightly, or indeed to ignore it, would be a costly mistake.
By defining the corporate culture and then conveying this to staff is how leaders inspire. Success is not only the best way to inspire; but it is inspirational and effortlessly transcends language barriers.
But we jump ahead. Language is the key to ensuring that people from all nations are aligned with the company’s values. Leaders must express their ideas clearly and staff members must also have a good command of the language to understand fully what is being said. And more often than not, English is the language used to convey company values within global organisations.
