How to Be the Best Possible Manager to Your International Employees

Here in Scandinavia, we take pride in and value the Scandinavian style of leadership. International employees even seek employment in Scandinavian companies in Denmark and throughout the world for this very same reason. The Scandinavian leadership style is characterised by freedom with responsibility. This freedom is reflected in a short power distance and an obligation to voice your opinion, but not least international employees from countries with a different managerial style norm may risk feeling frustrated and insecure within these wide frameworks.
