Key Recommended Actions for Managers

13

Discard your bias Findcommonalities

Always disclose yourself

We should never say;

“Thai people are always…”“Japanese companies are …”

No Stereotyping is necessary attitude for great managers.

Instead of talking about gaps, we should say;

“Our common goals are…”“We are in the same direction in this respect …”

We should keep the attitude of self disclosure.

“My belief is…”“From my viewpoint, I feel a bit weird because…what do you think?”
