Leadership, Culture, Worklife - the GSD Podcast (Ep. 30)

In this dynamic and timely talk, Dr. Claude B. Kershner IV walks us through the evolution of global business, ethical leadership, and the cultural complexities shaping today’s international economy. Using real-world data, historical context, and insights from Hofstede’s and the GLOBE Project’s cultural frameworks, this session prepares future leaders to operate with confidence and conscience on the global stage.

With global supply chains still recalibrating post-COVID, and tensions rising across regions—from U.S.–China decoupling to the rise of regional powerhouses—navigating international trade and ethical decision-making has never been more urgent or more complex.

Drawing from key frameworks like Hofstede’s Value Dimensions, the GLOBE Project, and high-context vs. low-context cultures, Dr. Kershner challenges viewers to think critically about cultural value systems, ethical relativism, and what it means to have a global mindset in business.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

1. How power distance, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance affect business behavior
2. Why understanding high- vs. low-context cultures is crucial in cross-border negotiation
3. The ethical tensions in global trade, outsourcing, and foreign investment
4. What it takes to lead with a global mindset: cognitive, psychological, and social dimensions
5. How communication breakdowns occur across cultures—and how to overcome them
6. Global value trends in 2025: What CEOs, startups, and students need to know
