LEADERSHIP: Managing the Multinational Firm:
Building relationships with diverse stakeholders is fundamental to effective leadership in multinational firms. Over one's career, many issues will arise that may be more or less predictable depending on the uncertainties that are inherent in the location as well as changes in the external environment. Therefore, it is critical to have flexible and ongoing engagement processes that accommodate the diversity within the local setting and contribute to trust and
mutual respect. Inherent in this idea is consideration of the social, political, economic, and cultural relationships fundamental to the organization of society. Long-term sustainable business practice requires looking at the broader picture of the cultures, while constantly thinking critically about the nuances of the stakeholder relationships that shape these cultures.
