Becoming a leader who is trusted by people of different cultures and can provide effective coaching to achieve results requires a wide range of skills.

Research shows that organizations with an engaging philosophy and shared corporate values are highly competitive. However, a method of cascading the message from the top and trying to make employees learn the organization’s set of values is seldom effective. The key to establishing a shared set of values among all employees is for each employee to first clarify and communicate his or her own set of values. When individuals recognize that the organization’s values are aligned or relate in some meaningful way to their own values then the organization will have truly communicated it’s philosophy.
