Abstract: Globalisation has transformed the corporate environment, creating both opportunities and challenges for multinational firms. This paper conceptually examines the relationship between cross-cultural management practices and adaptive leadership styles, and how these jointly influence organizational performance. Drawing from established theories of culture and leadership, the study proposes a theoretical framework highlighting how cross-cultural competence fosters effective communication, reduces misunderstandings, and enhances team cohesion, while adaptive leadership styles ensure flexibility, cultural sensitivity, and situational awareness in diverse environments. Unlike empirical studies, this paper takes a conceptual approach and lays a foundation for future research that can empirically validate the proposed framework through quantitative or qualitative methods. The insights offered provide both theoretical contributions to global leadership literature and practical guidance for managers seeking to navigate cultural complexity in the era of digital transformation and virtual teams.
