"The real voyage of discovery is not in seeking new lands and new
people but in seeing with new eyes."
(Marcel Proust)
"Why are these foreigners so speedy and impatient? We're
still gathering information and they're already coming up with solutions
and
action plans. They
don't respect
our existing procedures. They are incredibly pushy and stressful to work
with."
A typical sentiment in a multicultural work environment. Cross-cultural misunderstandings and conflicts hinder decision-making processes as well as personal effectiveness. This continues to be a profound challenge in today's international workplace.
Recognizing why we behave as we do and learning how to adapt our behaviour leads to effective cross-cultural communication.
