Bridging cultural differences. Politics and Silos
Pocket room, 1st floor
20th November, 16:30-17:00
The world is full of confrontations between people, groups, organizations who think, feel act differently. Cultures consist of the unwritten rules and social game. Is it the collective programming of the mind that distinguish the members of one group or category of people from others. Culture is learned not innate.
The presentation has its basics in Hofstede’s studies who evaluates 6 dimensions:
- Individuality vs Collectivism
- Power. Distance
- Masculinity vs Feminity
- Uncertainty Avoidance
- Long term – short term
- Indulgence vs restraint
Silos are departmental politics and territoriality within organizations Leaders must go beyond behaviors and address the contextual issues at the heart of departmental separation and politics.
Politics and silos waste resources, kill productivity and jeopardize goals’ achievements and besides that people get frustrated and stressed and will lack performance.
So how does a leader bridge the cultural chasm?
