„Ein großes Geheimnis des Erfolgs ist, den Standpunkt des Anderen zu verstehen.“ Henry Ford
Jede Kultur hat ihre eigenen Regeln und Erwartungen und braucht eine für diese geeignete Wahrnehmung und Ansprache.
The captain of a sinking ship had difficulty in persuading his European passengers to jump into the water. So, as he explained afterwards, he appealed to the dominant instincts in each of the
nationalities: „I told the English it would be unsporting not to jump, the French that it would be the smart thing to do, the Germans that it was an order and the Italians that jumping overboard
was prohibited!“
„If there is any great secret of success, it lies in the ability to put yourself in the other person's place, and to see things from his point of view.“ Henry Ford
Each culture has its own rules and expectations and needs a suitable perception and approach.
