For many of us, our professional lives are shaped by the global nature of work – even if we aren’t always immediately aware of the international connections. As a result, cultural factors easily become challenges. How do we confidently address cross-cultural differences and how strategic are we in building bridges across the culture gaps we encounter? Since organizations are only as global as the people who work for them, a major task for leadership is finding solutions to cross-cultural conundrums.

In this session, Scott Sanchez, Adjunct Faculty, and Robert Berris, Brightwell Chief Innovation Officer, discuss Collaborative Leadership and leave you with the following these three actionable steps:

Such writings are crafted with a human audience in mind. However, what if 90% of the corporate filings these days are read by bots?

Consider just the past five years – a period which saw sales forces roiled by a global pandemic, then an uncertain recovery with accompanying swings in demand and supply.

These factors are poised to disrupt sales organizations in unforeseen ways that many firms haven't yet anticipated. Bob Kelly, Goizueta Adjunct Professor, reviews the most important sales force trends, management practices, and research insights for high performing organizations to thrive amidst the changes and position your sales force for success.
