RSVP for Speak Up With Local Chinese Employees April 20, 2023 at 7:00pm (California Time)

You might think leading Chinese employees is simple due to their respect for hierarchy, but this presumption fails to consider the hazards of interpreting Face-giving pantomimes literally, often mistakenly. While we appreciate their song and dance performance, we must carefully orchestrate the final act deliberately.

As we develop an awareness of the importance of TONE, literally and figuratively, and how to sidestep cultural landmines hidden in our dichotomies, more productive communication patterns will materialize. Still, we can accelerate the formation of a new reality with specific pointers regarding how we interact with local Chinese staff and direct reports.

In typical Mandarin Savvy form, in Chinese and English, we'll socialize and role-play the cultural significance of What they SAY vs. What they MEAN, What they ASK vs. What they WANT, and HOW they ACT vs. their True INTENTIONS.

EVENT OVERVIEW

This immersion workshop, given in Chinese and English, will present, dissect, and analyze essential Chinese cultural dichotomies with the West, whose misunderstanding represents the root cause of most of our frustrations doing business in China, opening the door to deepening Guanxi, the Chinese version of good business relationships. With this foundation, doing what's appropriate in business situations in China will become second nature.

"A cultural dichotomy is just a contrast that lacks curiosity."
