Hospitality industry is a globalized business, and it is a multicultural working area. Employees are coming from different areas and customers are from all around the world. Cross-cultural leadership could not only help me have a better understanding of my employees and customers need, but also it is an effective way to reduce and solve conflicts due to the difference of cultures. Cultures are different, so developing my awareness of culture could also enhance the dynamic in the working environment. Therefore, being a cross-cultural leader is vital in this globalized industry, and also it could build a comfortable working environment to every cross-cultural employee. ]]> 2017-03-11 18:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159449672 serenaxy0926 https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159449857 2017-03-11 18:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159449857 serenaxy0926 https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159457205 In order to become a relationship builder leader, there are some action strategies could help me to achieve my goal. First of all, enhance my communication skills. “Communication is essential to building trust and gaining commitment to the vision and strategy”. However, it does not mean I say everything directly, but use strategies to get closer to them, and listen their opinions. For example, hanging out with team members after work. Getting out of the working or studying environment, employees will be relaxed and are easier to show their real thoughts. Being as a friend after work, it is essential for a leader who wants to build a positive relationship with your employees. Receiving basic knowledge about their personal life, whenever they have troubles about the personal life, as a leader and also a friend, it is your responsibility to help and support them.

Building relationship with people from different cultures is vital for keeping peaceful in the working environment. Nowadays, the relationship between leader and followers does not only delegate and implement, but also a closer relationship could help to build a thriving working environment. Good relationships with my followers is an effective way to delegate, and I don’t want to know that my employees follow me is only because I am a leader, but I am the person that they like and respect, it is comfortable for them to implement my plans. “Employee motivation affects productivity, so part of a leader’s job is to channel followers’ motivation toward the accomplishment of the organization’s vision and goals”. Therefore, building positive relationship with my followers is a strategy to convince and encourage them to be loyal with me and the company as well.

When I work with my team, I like to be harmony. As a leader, it is essential to be candid, but it does not mean criticizing him in front of the table, negating his work. In school with working as a team, I should consider other members’ feeling, and trying to understand their thoughts. Asking questions about their work, it is an effective way to learn what are they thinking and it help to build positive attitudes and self-confidence . Whenever the mistakes appear, talking to the employee personally, and being patient to listen their ideas. It is the most efficient way to correct the mistake, employee will appreciate that you keep his pride, and also it is the start of building relationships.

In order to be a cross-cultural leader, being awareness of different culture is an efficient way to get along well with followers come from different cultures. Moreover, culture has an important influence of people’s behavior. Learning about people’s behaviors help to find out the most comfortable way to work with them. Therefore, being awareness is a significant way to avoid the misunderstandings and conflicts due to culture shock. ]]> 2017-03-12 03:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159467029 serenaxy0926 https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159467119 First of all, learning about knowledge for different cultures. Through communication and behavior can easily see the knowledge of their cultures. When my team members are coming from different countries, I should be cultural intelligence. When I have something confused about their culture, or there is something that I don’t know whether I can do it or not, I should ask them immediately, or do some research on it. Since every culture has its sensitive side, if you don’t know what it the right way to do, you may cause embarrassed moments, and it is unrespect to their culture. Therefore, it is vital to be mindfulness of cultural difference in our multicultural working environment. ]]> 2017-03-12 03:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159467119 serenaxy0926 https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159468627 Secondly, as a cross cultural leader, I should be acceptable to any culture. Even though I have some cultures that I do not really understand which is reasonable, I should do convince myself to know about the culture, and maybe from the process, I would change my mind and start getting interested in it. For example, watching dramas and TV show is the most interesting way to get familiar with the new culture, and visual is always the most attractive method to attract people’s attention.]]> 2017-03-12 04:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159468627 serenaxy0926 https://padlet.com/serenaxy0926/qkt0kjt0nw2t/wish/159468672 Listening their ideas, and supporting them with both work and personal life, it is an essential way to gain trust and respect from employees. Employees want their leaders to consider them as a meaningful individual part. When trust is built, followers will have motivation to work for you and reaching high quality level of work. Therefore, in school, the benefits for team is to create successful project, by team members’ positive attitude and effort, and moreover, they enjoy working and feel meaningful with the leader who is a relationship builder.

Therefore, being acceptable at cross - culture is vital to make the business become successful.
