Work Skills Transcend Cultures Work Habits May Not
Since Chally is strongly established internationally, we're often asked what has to be done to alter the testing for different cultures around the world. For the past six years, we have been tracking performance on a Chally assessment versus actual performance on the job across many countries. Our goal was to develop a research database that would highlight differences that were based on geography or culture. For our comparisons internationally, we chose geographic, cultural, and economic regions that were very different. These included England, Sweden, Denmark, India, Indonesia, Australia, South Africa, Mexico and French Canada. The results were somewhat surprising, but very logical.

Is internal competition eating away at your sales results?
Many sales cultures are traditionally based on respect for authority, status and success, and encouraging competitive, challenging and achievement-oriented atmospheres. Although this is not true for all businesses, especially in the 21st Century! There are a growing number of businesses adopting more collegiate, lead team approaches. However, despite different types of cultures, sales performance and results are usually derived from the efforts of individuals. Harnessing those individual efforts to achieve synergy (the sum is greater than its individual parts) is a key task of management, yet so many get it wrong. Let’s take a look at one case study and see why.
Considering high-context vs. low-context cultures and its impact on cross-cultural leadership communications.
Communicating in your own native language is difficult enough. Add to this the nuances of differing cultures and we have a rather complex matter.

This article seeks to outline the meaning of high- and low-context cultures; polychronic and monochronic cultures; and explain how leaders may begin to better communicate within the context of these differing cultural settings.
