Our client is a French financial institution who had sent a very senior manager to their office in London, UK.
The manager had caused issues within a very short time which were perceived to come from cultural insensitivity and a complete lack of self-awareness.
We helped the manger to better understand how the workplace in the UK tends to work in comparison with France.
As well as addressing issues such as communication and general business culture we also focused on key management skills such as motivating, collaborating and coaching and how they may differ in the UK.
