Driving Effective Global Leadership: A Theoretical Proposi-tion on Breaching Cultural Communication Barriers

This study addresses the challenges of effective global leadership communications across cultures in our digital society.  To address this global leadership challenge, the purpose of this study will be to explore tactics to reach and engage individuals across cultural borders.  Globalization is a key progression for corporations to achieve new growth. Leaders and management professionals identify the benefits of managing resource costs when building teams and relationships across borders to maximize the return on innovative opportunities.  Abilities to inspire and motivate individuals must also stretch across the digital ether and with that necessity brings in new cultural challenges.  With our ability to provide instantaneous direction and receive prompt reactions across global time zones, leaders and managers have added a new dimension to drive effective communications with followers to bridge cross cultural practices.  Two dimensions of cultures are identified in terms of high-context and low-context societies to present how appropriate tactics are implemented to harmonize communications.  The focus of these societies varies within cultures and current digital technologies provide the foundation for a deep-dive analysis at an individual level to identify specific values and practices.  The theoretical expansion of new studies to eradicate broad cross-cultural dimensions and focus on individual cultural tactics can be transformed utilizing technology and recognizing generational awareness for the evolution of globalization and cultural-individualism.  Leaders implementing these tactics will be empowered to breach the culture barriers of globalization for effective communications and drive positive leadership outcomes.
