Management is a Matter of Orchestration: A Global Symphony
Being a multicultural holding with an international presence is not only a matter of doing business in different geographies. Ensuring different languages, cultures, business manners and expectations together and in harmony is a real art of leadership. For us, this art is a matter of orchestration.
A Global Symphony
We can think our Holding as a large orchestra taking stage in different countries. Each company represents a unique instrument with its own specialization, market and dynamics. One sets the rhythm like powerful percussion, while the other produces value in an elegant and continuous tone like a violin. Each one is valuable in its own right. However, the actual effect comes when these different sounds combine in one work, in same tempo and feeling.
Conductor: Carrier of Shared Values
The conductor of this symphony is the leader of corporate, namely holding management. Conductor’s function is not only set the rhythm. It assures each instrument perform the best, while combining all of them in a common flow, the same feeling and goal. In the same vein, we ensure all our subsidiaries to operate around a common corporate culture, shared values and unified vision.
This is not a matter of centralization, rather of integrity. Each company has a voice that is specific to its country, industry and culture. However, this voice only becomes meaningful when it harmonizes with the overall symphony of the holding.
Respect to Cultural Differences and Dedication to Shared Values
While operating in different countries, we are aware that each culture has its own rhythm, tempo and priorities. We take action with this awareness, we deeply respect not only linguistic differences, but also business manners, social values and expectations.
While adapting ourselves to local dynamics of each market, we embrace cultural intelligence as a basic element of our management approach. Because we know that actual harmony is possible not by suppressing differences but understanding and creating harmony together.
Multi-Voice, One Message
Operating in different countries, different cultures add a great richness to us. While protecting this polyphony, we want to convey one single message: a value-generating, sustainable, ethics-based, and human-focused approach. Our all companies sharing the same mission regardless of their roles removes us out of being an ordinary global organization into a harmonized and strong community.
Harmony in Silence: Managing the Trust
Conductor is silent on the stage. Its language is its movements, but actual power comes from the trust musicians have in it. This is how we see the leadership. We trust in all our companies. While respecting their autonomy, we forge a strong bond to integrate each of them into our joint symphony: communication, transparency and shared accountability.
As Golden Gateway Holding, we respect the cultural differences in different countries, but uphold same values and make progress. We share the same melody with our all subsidiaries operating across different industries and geographies. Because, we are more meaningful if we are together.
