Description & Show Notes
A Solo Episode about how to adapt to other international cultures through empathy
To analyse why people behave and react in the way that they do in an intercultural business situation, I refer to the four-pillared approach first introduced by interculturalist, Richard Gesteland in his book Cross-Cultural Business Behaviour, which is an excellent read.
- Relationship focused / Deal Focused
- Formal / Informal
- Monochronic (Timekeepers)/Polychronic (flexible crisis managers)
- Reserved/Expressive
Specific business situations are used to provide examples. Future episodes inspired by the research for this episode will be about:
- Time Management to keep stress from affecting our behaviour
- Country Profiles - India, Scrum Technology etc
