I really enjoyed watching this video on managing cultural differences in the business world. Aaron Meyer's book "The Culture Map" provides valuable insights into communication, leadership, and decision-making across different cultures. As a marketer, I'm constantly communicating with people worldwide, so understanding cultural differences is crucial for me. I found the examples of ringi decision-making in Japan and the importance of personal relationships in India and China particularly fascinating. I highly recommend this video to anyone working internationally!
I've observed how cultural differences can affect communication and collaboration in the workplace. For example, Nederland's values direct communication and feedback, while Ukrainian people use more indirect and polite language like British. That's why I was slightly confused the first time when I arrived in the Netherlands.
