Working across cultures
In today’s international society, and international business in an era of globalization, there are major challenges when it comes to cultural differences and there’s a lot that can go wrong.
In 80% of cases, communication is the biggest challenge and very often we blame the communication problems on culture.
Luckily, common conflicts and communication barriers can often be resolved with a little forethought, training and psychological insight.
YET addresses the common challenges working cross-culturally and the benefits of using tools like the MBTI assessment to foster collaboration.
We will explore the challenges and solutions related to working in cross-cultural teams and learn how tools like the MBTI assessment help people of different cultures work together.
YET improves your insights into working across countries and cultures, and learn how to better prepare you, and your teams to communicate effectively with people and teams of different cultures.
Important aspects are discussed and clarified, such as:
