The increasing globalisation and multifariousness of culture in organisations is igniting the need to look at how it affects the leader-follower relationship, every culture has differences and/or peculiarities which, if properly managed, can enrich their operating models. The rapid changes in demographics and technological developments are changing the labour force, and this requires better recognition of the consequences of cross-cultural management.
