It investigates communication nuances, decision-making processes, and leadership paradigms within multicultural settings. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing case studies, in-depth interviews, and systematic observations as primary data collection methods. To ensure the reliability of the research, rigorous validation techniques, such as triangulation, were implemented. Findings: Cultural diversity within multinational teams profoundly influences communication and decision-making. Successful leadership in these contexts necessitates understanding and adapting to cultural variances. Key attributes for leaders include cultural intelligence, adaptability, and flexibility. The significance of cultural norms, practices, and role stress in determining leadership efficacy was also underscored. Research Limitation: While the study offers in-depth insights, it acknowledges the need for further research with more extensive quantitative data to provide a holistic understanding of cross-cultural management dynamics. Future studies might also explore the impact of digital communication tools on cross-cultural interactions or delve deeper into the nuances of role stress across different cultures. Managerial Implications: Organizations should emphasize developing cultural intelligence among their leadership and workforce. Initiatives should include diversity training, promoting inclusive leadership, adapting ethics programs to local cultures, and fostering cross-cultural collaboration. Clear career trajectories, especially for marginalized groups, can further enhance retention. Originality/Value: This research augments existing literature on cross-cultural management, emphasizing its pivotal role in global organizational success. The study offers invaluable insights for scholars and industry practitioners in cross-cultural management by integrating theoretical and practical perspectives and suggesting avenues for future research. Keywords: Cross-Cultural Management, Cultural Diversity, Cultural Conflict, Cultural Intelligence, Decision-making, Leadership Styles, Multinational Teams, Qualitative Research.
