What do you see in the picture above? They are both professional but they seem to have exchanged culture or they just misunderstood each other? What where they taught at school?
Study of the different cultural differences is overwhelming for there are so many. Without seriously studying it, will surely lead to problems in communication among diverse colleague. There are of course factors that we might consider to learn. According to typetalk.com here are some of those factors:Factors:1. EducationSome of us pursue formal training (i.e. college degrees, certification programs etc.) before entering our career. How people acquire knowledge and skills can shape how they approach work and people around them.2.Personal BackgroundWhere people grow up or currently live can influence their work values. For example, New Yorkers are known for their fast pace and long hours. Someone new to New York City may struggle to keep up with that pace and a New Yorker moving to a smaller city might rub some peoople the wrong way with their constant sense of urgency.3. EthnicityEthicity or national origin creates a lot of differences in regards to how people perceive certain expression, behaviors, and habits.4. GenerationThere are plenty of ideas about the cultural differences between Millenials, Generation X and Baby Boomers. Our varying life experiences and stages in life can strongly influence how we act and think when it comes to dealing and communicating with people.5. Work ExperienceWhen someone moves from a bigger company to a startup or vice versa, they often face some form of a culture shock when they get there. Same thing happens when a teacher moved from public to private or vice versa. Their experiences may cause miscommunication too..
After learning these factors here are my personal tips:1. Educate yourself2. Be patient with others3. Enjoy diversity
