Understanding Cultural Differences
Living and working abroad can be an enriching experience. Many young managers know, moving up the ladder of success means being able to take on a work assignment located outside their country. Although enriching, the experience can cause a reduction in the productivity of the person working abroad. Along with taking on new duties, the person finds him or herself confronted with communication problems that were never there before, or constantly mismatched expectations from team members and colleagues. It is not uncommon for overseas assignments to end before the expected term. Use our training and coaching to prepare your managers for their next overseas assignment.
- Learn the phases of culture shock and how to transition through them smoothly.
- Understand why people react positively or negatively in a new culture.
- When you’re ready to throw it all away and jump ship, use our 5-Step Method to get back on board.
