Working across Cultures
Chinese managers employed in multinational companies, and foreign managers working in China, face recurring challenges: how to communicate efficiently, how to manage productively and how to transfer knowledge smoothly etc. Very often the underlying and unexplored causes of these difficulties are cultural.
This workshop will directly address these issues and help the participants develop their competence and learn how to be more effective in working across cultures. It will highlight the three levels at which culture in a business environment comes into play: individual, collective and organizational.
Throughout the workshop we share and develop best practices for dealing with cultural differences in the participants' particular work environments. We identify strategies and tactics which address the business activities directly relevant and applicable to the participants' individual needs. Participants will analyze their own cultural profiles and design their individual action plans.
Benefits:
• Recognize, Respect and Reconcile cultural differences
• Enhance cultural awareness relevant to the participants' objectives and needs
• Build effective skills for communicating and managing across cultures
• Acquire valuable information needed to employ appropriate behavioral strategies when conducting business in a cross-cultural environment
• Develop personal cultural profiles encouraging an understanding of the unique characteristics each participant brings to all cross-cultural interaction.
