Essay on Culture and leadership

Culture and leadership is the collection of ideas which focus on unified work rather than on different ideas. Everyone work for one company despite of their cultural, linguistic or geographical differences. The multinational company is Pakistan based and has employees from Saudi Arab, Pakistan and US. The culture of Pakistan is different than European culture but is much more similar to Arabic heritage as one common factor among both countries is Islam. But under good leadership everybody works together for the wellness and prosperity of the company. New trends and perspectives are learned and understood. Hard working employees blend in different culture and work efficiently in order to adapt and live in a culture different than theirs.

Different people from world can be advantageous as every individual is different from another and has different values and learned strategies which can boost up functioning of company. House et al.’s (2004) did research on connection between leadership and culture which caused research to widespread around the globe. Nine cultural dimensions were developed i.e. uncertainty avoidance, power distance, institutional collectivism, in group collectivism, gender egalitarianism, assertiveness, future orientation, performance orientation and human orientation. GLOBE studies provide close perspective of cross cultural leadership, and underscore the complexity of leadership with respect to every culture. (HEATHFIELD 2018)
