Work Culture for Local Leaders in Global Firms
It is a real honour to bring to you my discussion with Ruth Levine, the CEO of IDinsight – a research and advisory organization that works with global development leaders to improve their social impact.
As an organisation with 6 offices spread across 5 regions in Africa and Asia, I think Ruth is keenly aware of the complexities of cultural differences and sensitivities and how they impact meaningful collaboration. So in this episode we tackle the challenges she and IDinsight faced to hiring talent across the globe, building trust with communities and then her concerns around the all too superficial shift to ‘localisation’ and the potential consequences. These are Ruth’s opinions, not IDinsight’s.
