Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Leeds Metropolitan University, course: Cross-Cultural Management, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the cross-cultural differences between leadership in the case of Greece and Germany. When reviewing the literature about cultural differences and differing leadership styles, the specific attributes of both countries are brought together. The results showed that there are many ways of defining culture and leadership. As well as the cultural differences, leadership varies from one country to the next. Awareness and knowledge of a leader's strengths is essential in leading subordinates. To analyse the differences between leadership in the case of Greece and Germany the following questions must be addressed: What are the cultural differences between Greece and Germany? What is typical Greek and what is typical German regarding leadership? What are the big distinctions between these two forms? And is there anything that can be learned from one another? This analysis is primarily concerned with these questions. To say that leadership varies from one country to another (Deresky, 2000) and "knowing what your personal leadership style is, the strengths and weaknesses of your preferred style, and how to deal with others whose styles may differ considerably from yours is essential to developing and sustaining successful leadership positions" (Hummel, 2007, p.25).
