Subject: managing and ?motivating? employees from different cultures.
Dear Folks on the OBTS and MG-ED-DV lists -
I have an invitation to do a 90 minute (hopefully experiential) session
with five middle to somewhat upper-level Japanese managers participating in
a five week executive development program (in Japan, where I am at
present).
Their request is pretty much as follows:
1. Give them an experience of what it will FEEL like to struggle with some
of the difficulties of managing and ?motivating? employees from different
cultures. (The different cultures are not specified.) They say they have
a pretty good intellectual idea about what the difficulties might be, but
they have not yet wrestled with this issue in person and so they?d like
more of an ?in-the-gut? (my phrasing) experience rather than just talk
about it.
2. Give them some ideas about what they might do to be more effective in
managing and motivating people from different cultures.
That is pretty much the invitation I have.
3. They are a hard working (and bright) bunch, so something they could
read before or after the session would probably also be appreciated (and
even read!!) by them.
If you have some ideas about how I might make some sort of contribution to
them in 90 minutes (I am told I can run longer if I wish), please send my
your ideas at two addresses:
stoner@fordham.edu and
stoner@iuj.ac.jp.
(My Fordham email system can be a bit erratic.)
If I end up doing anything that turns out not to be too noxious, I?ll
report on it to the list.
(Of course, if you have ideas you think everyone on the list would find
interesting, you are - as always - welcome to reply to the whole list.
Warm regards,
Jim

Jim et al,
I did a short (and 90 minutes is SHORT) piece on cross cultural
communications (usually I'm doing 3 - 12 hours on this and related
subjects.
The process was highly interactive. My agenda was:
Cross Cultural Communications
Short Session, 2003
AGENDA
Your Culture
=D8 What is it?
=D8 What do you Value?
=D8 What do others think of it?
Dimensions Of Culture
=D8 Value Orientation
Sensitive Attitudes and Values
=D8 Respectful Interaction
Definitions for Inclusion
Recognizing Bias
Building Community
=D8 What can each person do?
=D8 What will you do?
If any of this is of interest contact me and I can give more details.
best regards

Subject: 90 minutes? Re: managing and ?motivating? employees from different
cultures.
I agree with most of the comments that 90 minutes is
far too little time. An easy exercise would be to
show a copy of the English-language version of the
movie "BLACK RAIN" and have your group pick out the
Western movie-maker misconceptions about Japanese
culture.
