Abstract

Leadership is the process of managing and directing a group of people. While it is already difficult to manage a group of people for certain purposes, the process becomes even more difficult when this group consists of people with very different characteristics because different characteristics mean different needs, different expectations, different motivation tools, etc. Culture is also one of the main factors that affect the emergence of different characteristics, as it differs from country to country and expresses the features that distinguish each country from the other. Organizations, which are also a part of the culture they are in, can contain different cultures within themselves. This requires organizational leaders to know the cultural differences of both the society they live in and the employees of the organization in order to be successful. In this study, intra-organizational cultural differences are discussed through Hofstede's six dimensions of culture. Afterwards, the things that leaders should do in order to be successful in multicultural organizations are mentioned.
