The Making of a Modern Leader in Europe: Do skills differ from country to country?
The report "Do Skills Differ from Country to Country?" explores how modern leadership in Europe varies by country, focusing on Germany, France, and the UK. Through research involving 400 managers, it examines key leadership traits and the impact of digital transformation. Findings show that while strategic, flexible leadership is valued across borders, cultural differences influence preferred leadership styles and challenges. For instance, UK leaders favor hybrid models, French managers prioritize practical skills, and German leaders emphasize organization and decision-making. The report suggests Coursera’s Leadership Academy as a solution for scalable, culturally-aware leadership development.
