Great post, Cindy. Strong cross-cultural capacities are all too rare in the marketplace. It’s thrilling to find workers who demonstrate cultural sensitivity. As this world grows “smaller,” smart leaders will recognize cross-cultural skills as indispensible. Keep reminding us about this important topic.

Hi Steve,

It will be interesting to see how cross-cultural skills evolve in the future. As the world grows smaller, will people pick them up faster or not.

I spoke to someone who went to China recently for business. This person said that all of the Chinese people he met used “Western” names instead of their Chinese names. It’s little things like this make me wonder.
