What are possible areas of culture conflict that may impact leadership performance?
Hofstede(1980) identified four culture dimensions that may impact leadership/follower behavior as; power distance, uncertainity avoidance, masculunity, and individualism. Culture conflict raises its head in the areas of validation, decision making, perception, time management and task versus relationship etc. It is prudent that today's leadership be able to manage cultural diversity in the work/market place on the back drop of fast globalizing world and different values, beliefs and norms. Thus leadership style should be sensitive to the potential cultural conflict that may impact one's leadership efficacy.
