Working with people from different cultures
or working in a foreign country, are the situations we
most often identify in terms of cultural differences. However, even more often, we are confronted with other cultural differences in everyday life, making cooperation difficult or impossible. Simple changes in family- or work organization, reconfigurations; new members, mergers, downsizing, etc, result in the need to merge or split cultures; family, group and company cultures. Even between two different departments or teams, the cultures might be different enough to create difficulties and misunderstandings when working together. The "language" is not the same, neither the set of rules and norms, resulting in territorial thinking. This is very evident in interface management. Cooperation "across the borders" is more easily said than done, the result more often being conflicts and distance than open communication about solutions to our mutual benefit. Learning to cope with the other "culture" and "language" and changing attitudes is not done through one way communication. Rather you need to create a setting making possible to have dialogue about similarities and differences in order to reach synergetic effects for the organisation. |
