Building up your Cultural Agility
Navigating a Diverse Workplace
Description
When she sends e-mails, it’s so complicated! Is she complaining? Does she need help? Very unclear. Very mixed-up.
And worse, when she’s told to improve her communication, she thinks she’s at risk!
Does this office conversation sound an alarm? Would you be more effective with fewer of those chicaneries? While there is a growing consensus to support Cultural Diversity, the day-to-day operations are also more sensitive. “Unclear” or “un-friendly” emails cloud the mailboxes. Impromptu phone calls or complete silence blur the communication. Too long or too cold meetings plague the timetable. The list could go on. The multiplicity of communication styles, (unspoken) value systems, and (unconscious) expectations transform the workday into an exhausting hurdle race.
