How Leadership Nomad can helpKyle Hegarty, Managing Director
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent
that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” It is as if Charles Darwin was writing this to describe today's global business landscape.
Growing businesses in new markets is as challenging as it is exciting. Having worked with hundreds of companies as they expand into Asia Pacific and other emerging markets, it is clear that managing a business across regions requires skills most of us were never taught. We muddle through it and hope for the best. But with new competitors, finding and retaining top talent and unpredictable geo-political risks, the need to adapt is more important than ever.
Leadership Nomad was launched to help companies and teams evolve to face global communication and collaboration challenges.
Our growing team offers training and consulting services as well as keynote addresses that focus on the skills and mindsets needed to help navigate across polarized and complex business environments.
Growing globally is not easy. We’ve been there. We get it. Let us help.

Managing Director

Our programs help teams develop strategies to handle these changes whether they’re working in the same building or across the world. These sessions, focus on organization-specific challenges and use real-world case studies to drive insights. They include interactive discussions and practical tools that participants can begin using immediately.

Working remotely makes companies nervous. Many of us have been doing it for decades, but it is still new, and new approaches towards working suggest risk. Companies want the opposite; they want to find ways to de-risk.
When it comes to growing globally there is an old saying that a business should standardize wherever it can and localize wherever it must. Below is a simple, but important framework teams can use to help you get there. While this approach can be used across any line of business, I have focused on sales teams in this example. With remote work and digitalization of business accelerating, deciding what to standardize versus localize can make the difference between conquering markets and going home empty handed.
Teammates are working far, far away, characters frequently catch up via video (ok, hologram) calls, data security is nightmare, Chewbacca doesn’t wear pants and everyone wears masks. So here are 8 lessons Star Wars can teach us about working in a hybrid / remote world…(Star Wars geeks only, please)
Here is the first lesson for managing people across cultures: don’t be a seagull. Seagulls are those big awkward birds that fly in from out of nowhere, they squawk a lot, and then fly away leaving behind a giant mess. Anyone who has worked for an international organisation has likely encountered a seagull manager.
