It’s been incredible to dive deep into the importance of culture in navigating global business, especially while being on the ground in Ireland and Germany. I had the privilege of learning from Bryan K. James and Janelle James, who shared their leadership experiences centered around understanding the history, politics, geography, and religion that shape any business environment. What really resonated with me was how these insights align with systems thinking, particularly in the social sector’s collective impact process. The need to dive below the waterline to uncover the structural, transactional, and attitudinal factors at play is key to making a lasting impact. This has been such an enriching experience, and I’m excited to apply these learnings to both my professional and personal leadership journey. #ExecutiveMBA #Leadership #GlobalBusiness #CultureMatters #SystemsThinking #CollectiveImpact #Ireland #Germany #LeadershipJourney #HaslamCollegeofBusiness
