Global Dexterity de Andy Molinsky

Global Dexterity

Autor Andy Molinsky
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 mar 2013

Observăm adesea că literatura de specialitate se limitează la inventarierea diferențelor culturale, lăsând liderii fără un mecanism concret de acțiune. Andy Molinsky intervine în acest spațiu cu o autoritate derivată din peste zece ani de cercetare academică și consultanță de elită pentru executivi internaționali. Credem că valoarea fundamentală a lucrării Global Dexterity rezidă în abordarea onestă a unui paradox: cum să te conformezi normelor unei culturi străine fără să simți că îți trădezi valorile personale sau autenticitatea. Suntem de părere că autorul reușește să transforme managementul intercultural dintr-o listă de „așa da/așa nu” într-o competență psihologică rafinată. Cartea nu se rezumă la teorie, ci oferă o structură clară pentru depășirea barierelor emoționale care apar atunci când ieșim din zona de confort culturală. Complementar volumului Successful Global Leadership de Ramon Henson, care se concentrează pe cadrele macro de leadership global, lucrarea lui Molinsky acoperă zona micro a ajustării comportamentale individuale, oferind instrumente practice pentru execuția zilnică a acestor tranziții. În contextul operei sale, Global Dexterity reprezintă fundamentul metodologic pentru lucrări ulterioare precum Reach, unde autorul extinde conceptul de ieșire din zona de confort în diverse contexte profesionale. Dacă în Forging Bonds in a Global Workforce accentul cade pe construirea relațiilor la distanță, aici Molinsky se concentrează pe mecanismele interne de adaptare. Cititorul va învăța să diagnosticheze cerințele unei situații noi, să își ajusteze „codul” comportamental și să integreze aceste schimbări în rutina sa profesională, menținându-și în același timp integritatea stilului personal.

Descriere scurtă

“I wrote this book because I believe that there is a serious gap in what has been written and communicated about cross-cultural management and what people actually struggle with on the ground.”—From the Introduction

What does it mean to be a global worker and a true “citizen of the world” today? It goes beyond merely acknowledging cultural differences. In reality, it means you are able to adapt your behavior to conform to new cultural contexts without losing your authentic self in the process. Not only is this difficult, it’s a frightening prospect for most people and something completely outside their comfort zone.

But managing and communicating with people from other cultures is an essential skill today. Most of us collaborate with teams across borders and cultures on a regular basis, whether we spend our time in the office or out on the road. What’s needed now is a critical new skill, something author Andy Molinsky calls global dexterity.

In this book Molinsky offers the tools needed to simultaneously adapt behavior to new cultural contexts while staying authentic and grounded in your own natural style. Based on more than a decade of research, teaching, and consulting with managers and executives around the world, this book reveals an approach to adapting while feeling comfortable—an essential skill that enables you to switch behaviors and overcome the emotional and psychological challenges of doing so.

From identifying and overcoming challenges to integrating what you learn into your everyday environment, Molinsky provides a guidebook—and mentoring—to raise your confidence and your profile. Practical, engaging, and refreshing, Global Dexterity will help you reach across cultures—and succeed in today’s global business environment.
