As I head out for a month (or as my husband, the Engineer, reminds me, 3.5 weeks) of holidays in Europe, I can’t help but wonder how different I will find the world out there versus the world here. Even in an international airport such as Toronto (as I thoroughly enjoy my seven hour Air Canada stopover), there is such a diversity of people - coming in, moving through, leaving the country.
I wonder about the diversity and leadership lessons I will be able to take away from the rich history and current challenges of the countries we will visit. Do you reflect on diversity when you travel? Do you compare your behaviour and norms to theirs and think they should be like you? Or do see different as only different?
