Summary
Richard interviews Rhonda L. Bowen, founder of an international consultancy based in Germany since 1987. Rhonda helps BEST professionals (Business, Engineering, Science, and Technology) communicate effectively across both geographical and organizational cultures.
They discuss the difference between geographical and organizational culture and why both matter, why technical leaders must learn to speak the language of business, how introverts and extroverts process communication differently, and why cross-cultural misunderstanding can derail even the best projects. The conversation also covers the power of matching (not just setting) expectations in leadership and how AI is transforming leadership, decision-making, and mentorship.
