The Culture Map: How People Think, Communicate, and Get Things Done Around the World

Navigating cross-cultural nuances is one of today's most pressing leadership challenges. In this panel, Erin Meyer, best-selling author of The Culture Map, explores how culture shapes feedback, decision-making, and virtual collaboration — and what leaders can do to bridge the gap. From meetings where a question is seen as support in one culture and an attack in another, to feedback styles that range from constructive to perceived bullying, this session equips participants with strategies to decode cultural differences and lead more effectively across borders.
