Abstract
From the perspective of cultural dimension, this paper discusses the importance of cross-cultural management for business leaders and how to enhance cross-cultural leadership in the context of globalisation. Firstly, it proposes to cultivate cross-cultural awareness and multicultural wisdom so that business leaders can reduce misunderstanding and cultural conflicts and enhance team cohesion. Secondly, establishing effective cross-cultural communication is proposed to promote co-operation, enhance influence and create a positive work environment. In addition, adopting appropriate cross-cultural employee incentives is pointed out to meet the needs of employees from different cultural backgrounds and to increase team enthusiasm and innovation. Finally, the importance of continuous learning of cross-cultural leadership thinking and approaches to continuously optimise leadership effectiveness is emphasised. These strategies help business leaders to better adapt to multicultural environments, cope with the challenges posed by cultural differences, and achieve improved teamwork and performance, thus achieving sustained success in the context of globalisation.
