Boardroom skills for Europe

Andrew Kakabadse and Andrew Myers

European Management Journal, 1996, vol. 14, issue 2, 189-200

Abstract: Based on a survey of top managers and top teams of medium- to large-size companies in Europe, Andrew Kakabadse and Andrew Myers categorise four distinctly separate boardrooms styles of thinking, feeling, and behaving, which they term inspirational, elitist, consensual and directive. Clearly, differences of nationality and culture exist. Recognising that the national/cultural frontier exists in Europe has a particular application in European boardrooms. The authors observe five areas of best practice across European boardrooms, and point out that top management can most sucessfully manage cultural diversity by finding workable solutions to it, not accentuating differences.
