Publisher's Summary

An international business expert helps you understand and navigate cultural differences in this insightful and practical guide, perfect for both your work and personal life.

Americans precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans get straight to the point; Latin Americans and Asians are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians think the best boss is just one of the crowd. It's no surprise that when they try and talk to each other, chaos breaks out. In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together. She provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business, and combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A must read for today’s team leader

Even for non-global organizations, this book is extremely helpful in articulating the differences in underlying values which manifest themselves in todays business environment from all aspects mentioned. Excellent toolkit to understand people, avoid conflict and working more productively and harmoniously.

Highly interesting and useful

Easy reading/listening. Extremely interesting content and even more important now that global teams will (almost) become the norm.

Helpful and well-read

I manage a small team of people with various workstyles and cultural backgrounds. This book is well-written; Erin Meyer covers the material very well, and Lisa Larsen is an excellent narrator. The pace and intonation of the audiobook are excellent. I also bought a hard copy so I could easily review the visuals instead of referring to the PDFs that come with the audiobook.
