Question

Briefly reflect on how the concept of a global mindset relates to your life, such as how it explains something you experience, how it informs how you regard current global events, or how you interact with other cultures.

Answer 1

When I am talking about having a global mindset, I am indicating my personel belief that I can get beyond my base culture. It referes to the cultural perspective that involves awareness of self, knowledge of many cultural values and an understanding of other peoples practices based on these values. In my view people make decisions more broadly rather than influenced by a single cultural perspective they are much more capable leaders. They able to lead with cultural diversity and lead global teams more efficiently.

We need to examine what is most appropriate, look to the individual people, and see the unique characteristics of a particular culture.
