Collaboration across cultures, whether virtual or physical, is
essential in many companies and organizations, and culture is present
in nearly all aspects of any international collaboration. It can
present challenges from fundamental cultural biases about what a good
leader is to interpretations of micro expressions such as tone of
voice, eye contact and body language.
Whether it is the Danish project manager in Dubai struggling with
unspoken social rules or the Indian IT-worker in Copenhagen who must
navigate the Danish humor or the leader who leads a virtual
multicultural team across 8 locations, cultural differences are at
play.
_Did_ You _Get the Point?_ prepares you for your global and virtual
collaboration with your international colleagues, partners, and
customers and provides specific tools on how to approach the
collaboration with cultural intelligence. And with that, you will
achieve competitive advantages that lie within cultural diversity,
including increased innovation, higher job satisfaction and
eventually, better performance.
Through cases and quotes from experienced leaders from different
companies and organizations such as LEGO, Novo Nordisk, Vestas, Arla,
Maersk, Rambøll, AAK, COWI, Blue Water Shipping, HydraSpecma,
PepsiCo, UCB Pharma and Tajco, the book provides insights into a long
list of situations which typically cause challenges in global
collaboration.
This book is for the leader, the employee or the team who is looking
to develop their cultural intelligence. Amongst others, you will get
answers to questions such as:
* What is cultural intelligence and how do we develop it?
* What characterizes the Danish business and working culture and what
should you be aware of as an international working in a Danish
organization or context?
* What should you be attentive towards as a global leader in a
primarily virtual collaboration?
* How can you work effectively across flat and steep hierarchies?
* How can you create psychological safety and trust in a
multicultural, virtual team?
The book is also available in Danish. The two books – _Did _You_ Get
the Point?_ and _Forstod _du_, hvad de sagde?_
[https://samfundslitteratur.dk/bog/forstod-du-hvad-de-sagde] are very
similar. However, where the Danish version is aimed towards Danes
working globally, the English version is adjusted towards
internationals working in Denmark or in other ways collaborating with
Danes.
