How to deal with competition towards consensus?

Take a Glühwein, sing a song and laugh together or how to deal with motivation towards achievement and success?

Yesterday the Advantage Austria in Stockholm invited to a "Glühwein"-get together- it was a pleasure to be there. Thank you ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Nordics for a wonderfull evening!

Did you know that Austria is a country where your employees are driven by competition, achivement and success while people in Sweden are driven by caring for others and quality of live?

So far so good.

But how do you work together when you are so far away from each other?

Step one:

Come together, sing a song and laugh together like our Austrian friends invited us to do.

Step two:

Discuss your "Whats" and "Whys".

Why do you love competitions? What`s in it for you?

Why do you search for consensus, what`s your benefit?

Step three:

Take off your glasses.

Listen and tell what you need.

Try something new. Change roles.

If you where the Swede maybe you could raise your voice show what you go for!

If you where the Austrian maybe you could search for consensus to get the best of and for both?

Step four:

Have fun with a mix of Austrian competition and Swedish consensus-

and have in mind

intercultural meetings in business can be like singing a song; the more you listen to yourself and people you meet, the better you rock together!
