Agile leadership in international organisations

You are convinced that your organisation can only withstand international competition, digital transformation and the pressure of continuous innovation by agile leadership and agile working methods. What, however, does agility mean, and what does it mean in different cultural contexts? How do your leaders from different countries and cultures of origin interpret the potential disruption of your present business model by digitalisation and theprinciples of agile leadership? Which agile working methods are suitable for international virtual teams and which have proved successful? How can they be introduced in an interculturally sensitive way, if values, attitudes and leadership methods differ or are even contradictory due to different cultural backgrounds?
