Mentoring

Managing in a foreign location and managing groups of multi-cultural teams are among the many challenges facing global executives today.

Many well run companies provide some Cross Cultural Training, usually pre-departure, and a few touch on the difficulties of managing multi-cultured teams in a domestic environment, but for most managers who plan on being successful, that is simply insufficient. Very few companies deal with the cultural issues inherent in domestic Mergers and Acquisitions.

A one or two day program before departure provides a very useful base, but it the ability to discuss the issues with a trusted, experienced mentor on an ongoing basis is invaluable. With an EMD mentor, the executive has someone with whom they can confidentially discuss the business issues from a cultural perspective. 

EMD's C³ mentoring programs are tailored to the needs and experience of the individual executive and typically include an initial assessment and discussion, and regular follow ups by phone or face to face.
