Well, these are the ways u can be productive at a new workplace:
-do the difficult or most important stuff first, then leave the less complicated stuff in the end
-take breaks-sitting 24/7 in ur office desk can be detrimental to ur health-do things u enjoy every one hour or so, such as sipping a black coffee with a light snack or having a quick laugh with ur colleauges, or perhaps u can challenge urself with a game of scrabble. it will change ur life of work struggles and make u mentally and physically happy!!
-don't multitask-u will make ur life more complicated, by completing stuff in a second. don't be paranoid with wotever work u have, the world is not going to end!
-u have innovative thoughts but finding it problematic to execute it? write down some ideas, concepts of how to overcome some work problems or doodle of wot u see ur next digital future like. its not complicated, u just need to be experiment, u never know when a creative idea might rush in.
-i hope i helped:)
Explanation:
a. What were some good and/or poor examples of communication?
Intercultural communication in the workplace can generate some significant difficulties, in an intercultural work team, there may be behaviors of certain members that differ from the rest of the group, which can mean lack of integration of the team due to lack of respect and interest to the cultural values of a particular member.
b. Discuss any examples or interpretation of cultural differences as described in Hoftstede's Cultural Values chart on p. 46 of your text (i.e. individualism, time orientation, formality, etc.).
Formality can be interpreted differently according to different cultures. In a more flexible culture like the American one, for example, formality may not be so expressed through the use of formal language and dress, whereas in a less flexible culture, this can be seen as a disrespect, as they can establish a more serious and formal communication in the workplace.
c. Is there anything that could have been done to make the communication more effective?
To make intercultural communication more effective, it is necessary above all to respect the individual values of an individual that exist in certain ways in some situations. The ideal is that people are open to learn and exchange experiences, willing to help the individual to integrate into the group, and above all to act in an ethical and respectful way always.
