If I am arriving 7 minutes late to a meeting in France, should I let them know? ⏱ And what if the meeting was in Norway? Why are my Latin American colleagues using so much time in personal talk before asking for something at work instead of getting straight to the point? 😩 My American manager gave me three positive feedback before telling me a negative one that she didn’t even make it sound so terrible… that has to be something good, right? 😰 As an Argentinian living and working for years on the other side of the world, often in teams with people from very different backgrounds, I know the answers to these questions aren't always easy. That's why In this session I want to share an incredible finding I recently came across: an analytical framework for decoding how these cultural differences impact our work environment called “The Culture Map”, conceived by international business professor Erin Meyer, and what things we can do to become better colleagues in this multicultural world 🌍
