  • we must all learn how to better communicate with individuals and groups whose first language, or language of choice, does not match our own
  • This requires the ability to see that a person's own behaviors and reactions are oftentimes culturally driven and that while they may not match our own, they are culturally appropriate.
  • Consider any special needs the individuals on your team may have. For instance, they may observe different holidays, or even have different hours of operation. Be mindful of time zone differences and work to keep everyone involved aware and respectful of such differences

  • Generally speaking, patience, courtesy and a bit of curiosity go a long way
  • And, if you are unsure of any differences that may exist, simply ask team members
  • cultivate and demand mutual acceptance and understanding
  • When you communicate cross-culturally, make particular efforts to keeping your communication clear, simple and unambiguous
  • avoid humor until you know that the person you're communicating with "gets it"
  • Humor is notoriously culture-specific: Many things that pass for humor in one culture can be seen as grossly offensive in another

    Do you think you're qualified for a particular job, fit to lead a team, or entitled to a promotion because you have extensive experience and highly developed technical skills? Well, it turns out that while those things are crucial to your professional success, it's imperative that you also have great soft skills-more commonly known as "people skills."

    Great article, I think it is really important for people to have strong people skills in the workplace and agree with the sentiment that having a good "people radar" is something that is difficult to teach where as technical skills can be taught to almost anyone.

    An informative article that highlights the importance in developing all these skills. People skills become more increasingly necessary as you get older.

  • Mentally prioritizing your current or daily work tasks is a strategy you can use to improve the way you orient your thoughts and complete goals
  • Creating a mental list of tasks beginning with the easiest and leaving the most complicated for last allows you to accomplish lots of tasks early in the day -- this will give you a sense of accomplishment
