Avoiding Culture Crashes in Business

In an era when people, money, and information are flowing faster than ever across international borders, growth opportunities will in large part depend on the ability to effectively interact with people from other cultures both here and abroad. Yet, without a deep understanding of how cultural differences impact the way people think, behave, and interact, we run the risk of “culture crashing” – destroying opportunities to build better connections and achieve greater success in business and personal endeavors.

This is why I interviewed Michael Landers and the questions I asked were:

*What’s a culture crash?

*Would you share a high-profile example or two?

*How did your upbringing broaden your awareness of the dangers of culture crash?

*Why is it important to be culturally aware in the business world and within communities?

*What are some of the consequences you’ve seen result from culture crash?

*Can you share a few simple culture crash-minimizing techniques?
