Cross-Cultural Collaboration & Communication
Cross-Cultural Collaboration & Communication
Good manners, sharing a common language and Being Nice (simply) Isn’t Enough to ensure success in your cross-cultural collaboration.
Cross-cultural Collaboration
- goes deeper than a “when in Rome do as the Romans do” attitude
- can only happen through connection and clarity in conversation
- starts with looking at your own mindset, beliefs, fears and attitude.
- means having a deeper understanding your own culture and values
This is easier said than done. Many well intended “universal” applications like being nice, treating everyone the same, sharing a common language and expert technical know-how – that worked out well in one setting – turn out badly or fail completely in another.
Expensive business suits, corporate smiles and fancy titles don’t guarantee collaboration. Success in your own domestic market doesn’t guarantee it in another. Breakdowns in communication and collaboration happen and well planned business dealings go wrong. Why?
