The Culture Map: Decoding How People Think, Lead, and Get Things Done Across Cultures by Erin Meyer
3.0
An overview of culture differences in different spectrum, not in depth, but good enough to raise awareness:
- Low context (explicit) vs High context (implicit) communication
- Direct vs Indirect negative feedback
- Principle vs Application first persuading method. And a completely different one which is holistic way of viewing problem.
- Egalitarian vs Hierarchy leadership
- Consensual vs Top-down decision making
- Task-based vs Relationship-based trusting
- Confrontational vs Harmony
- Linear-time vs Flexible-time scheduling.
The categorization is based more on author's personal experiences, observations, the book contains a lot of anecdotes. Author sometimes mentioned some scientific researches, however it bugged me abit that there's no references to those researches, maybe it's just an audiobook problem?
