Question

Did you hear that Glenn is returning back to the States, to work in corporate headquarters as vice president of environmental services in the international division?" asked Tony. His co-worker, Jaime, replied, "Yes. Obviously those four years that Glenn has spent abroad, in our Paris and Tokyo offices, have served him well." Tony countered, "Well, he deserves the recognition and, frankly, our international division will benefit from Glenn's leadership. No doubt he has learned a great deal about living and doing business in other cultures." In leaving his culture and working in other cultures for a significant period of time, Glenn will bring _____________ leadership to his organization

Answer 1

bridge

Step-by-step explanation:

The notion of building bridges represents binding different cultures or social classes and bringing them together. In a company, bridge leadership refers to promoting collaborative actions between different divisions or departments. In this case, Glenn is returning from Europe and Tokyo after four years and his future subordinates expect that he will be able to transfer his knowledge and work experience to them. They also expect a change in the way they work with the company's foreign branches.

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter "A": bridge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leadership has different functions within companies and teams. It is a bridge to the extent that leaders act as mediators between parties that do not come to a settlement or that have trouble dealing with each other because of a wide range of reasons such as cultural features. Leaders try to understand each party's position and offer a solution that benefits both individuals so they can work towards a common goal.

Thus, thanks to his experience with diverse cultures abroad, Glenn is likely to act as a bridge after he comes back to the U.S.
