The Cross-Cultural
Leadership Compass

Compare any two national cultures across Hofstede's six dimensions and GLOBE's nine — and see exactly where both frameworks agree. Built for executives who lead across borders.

Countries covered in the Hofstede framework
60
Countries covered in the GLOBE study
15
Dimensions across both frameworks combined
◈
Hofstede — 6 dimensions
Power Distance, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long-Term Orientation, Indulgence — with management guidance for each gap.
◉
GLOBE — 9 dimensions
Performance Orientation, Assertiveness, Future Orientation, Humane Orientation, Collectivism, Gender Egalitarianism, Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance.

Cross-framework convergence
See where Hofstede and GLOBE independently agree — and where they diverge. When two frameworks point the same way, the management implication is reinforced by independent evidence.
