The Peach and the Coconut: A Guide to Collaboration for Global Teams - Paperback

by Scott C. Hammond (Author), Danny Damron (Author), Christopher Liechty (Author)

When we encounter conflict with another culture, we get confused, frustrated, offended, or even angry.

The Peach and the Coconut explores how culture is a key factor in managing global teams. Moreover, it presents a better way to address cultural challenges--not your way or my way, but a way we create together. Learn how to:

create a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and respected; identify seven dimensions of culture that help to distinguish between "Peach" and "Coconut" cultures; and minimize frustrations associated with negotiating with people from different cultures.

Learn how to work with others who are different, lead others through the process of bridging cultural gaps, and prepare to see yourself and others differently with the insights in this business guide.
