Intercultural competence is a vital cog in the wheel of global expansion.

Business leaders who hope to surpass local limitations will encounter different cultures at some point, as will many who operate exclusively in one area. Examining the differences and commonalities between cultures within a workplace is part of creating the ideal work environment for growth.

Meeting Leadership Podcast #039 is the first of a two-part series, where we sit with Dan Garcia of Principia and discuss the details of intercultural competence, such as:
