the invisible challenge
Whenever professionals from different cultural backgrounds come together in the workplace, there is the potential for conflict. Lack of critical information, miscommunication and unclear feedback may lessen performance and productivity. That is why technical skills alone will not do it.
Professionals today are increasingly expected to develop Cultural Intelligence too.
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE =
more collaboration + productivity
