It’s no coincidence that you find yourself working in an intercultural environment—make the most of it and thrive!

Choosing to work in intercultural environments reflects a desire to move beyond the boundaries shaped by your upbringing and explore something greater. It stems from the awareness that there is more beyond what you already know.

The degree of awareness is mirrored in how one navigates the journey of discovering intercultural environments: some impose their own realities on the unfamiliar, others remain insulated in a bubble of what is familiar, ignoring anything new. Some completely assimilate abandoning their original identity, whereas others merge their upbringing with new experiences to become a larger version of themselves. In this last approach, you not only learn from the new environment but also share your own knowledge, creating mutual growth. Your personal expansion becomes the expansion of others.

The intercultural work environment serves as an invitation to expand the field of awareness. However, when there is resistance to this expansion, it creates dysfunction and frustration within organisations. Leaders might find themselves spending significant time addressing challenges that arise from a lack of understanding in managing intercultural dynamics, which lead them to lose focus on their core mission.
