Begin by viewing and reading the assigned resources, paying special attention to Slide #29 in the Dr. Joyce Osland presentation.

4. In your initial post (250-300 words) and based on the assigned materials, discuss a couple of your leadership strengths that you have exhibited within your own culture and how they would help or hinder your leadership efforts in a multi- or cross-cultural context. Consider how you would address one or more of the challenges that tend to accompany leading in the more complex global setting. How does Dr. Osland’s Pyramid Model of Global Leadership Competency inform your understanding of what you need to do to better develop your skills and capabilities?
