Managing cultural differences 8th day

Friday 23rd  September 2016

I was not able to commit to my Thursday activity as I had a work commitment and as a result I gathered my friends who participated in this exercise with me to decompress and discuss what we had been doing. There was a general consensus that the group discussion that replaced the morning tea was the best activity and they learned the most about each other's culture and how they can respect it.


I learned a lot through this exercise but I think the the biggest takeaway is that meaningful relationships and trust require more than a friendly face. To build relationships you need cultural intelligence which is that ability to approach a conversation with a strategy and tact.
