\nIn our increasingly connected and global<\/b> world, we are more and more often in contact with people who belong to different cultures, we are confronted with ways of communicating, of managing time and relationships<\/b> very far from the ways we are used to. Our interlocutors have expectations, values, beliefs, and visions of the world that we cannot imagine at all. <\/p>\n
\nThe management of projects in multicultural contexts<\/b> requires awareness of the typical behaviours and values of one's own culture, the curiosity<\/b> to understand the culture of the other, the ability to listen<\/b> to what is not said and that dose of empathy<\/b> that allows you to see the world through the eyes of the other.Emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence<\/a> are therefore indispensable elements for effective cross-cultural leadership<\/b>.<\/p>\n \nReferring to Hofstede's model of cultural comparison<\/a>, I made a series of interviews, which aims to offer food for thought and examples of female leadership<\/b> through the experience of women who have successfully carried out projects in multicultural contexts where the diversity management<\/b> proves to be of fundamental importance.<\/p>\n\n
