This assignment aims to assess your knowledge and skill in managing and leading global teams.

One of the major challenges of leading global teams is to choose a leadership style that suits the expectation of a culturally diverse group of people. Leaders need to adjust their attitudes towards authority anddecision-making based on the team's cultural and intellectual composition. Attitudes toward authority can range from strongly hierarchical to strongly egalitarian. Approaches to decision-making can range from top-down to consensual.

In the article, 'Being the boss in Brussels, Boston, and Beijing', author Erin Meyer maps various leadership cultures in four quadrants consensual and egalitarian; consensual and hierarchical; top-down and hierarchical; and top-down and egalitarian.

Read the article to understand the expectations of leadership in various cultures and answer the following questions.

Compare and contrast the leadership culture of your country with any other country of your choice. Discuss how power and authority are perceived in both cultures?

Suppose you are asked to lead a global team. Your team members are mostly from India, France, and Russia.

a) Discuss how your attitude to power and authority would differ from that of your team members. How flexible would you beto adapt to the team's expectations based on their cultural diversity?

b) Discuss the leadership approach you would adopt to effectively manage the team's performance and motivation.

The paper should be a minimum 900words.
