Hongkie fala o chinês
Embora o Chow de Stanley de Hong Kong não venha de distante, China é ainda um olho-opener para ele. Dois anos há que começou convidado a China por CCG (grupo central de uma comunicação) à ajuda amalgamate cinco companhias menores. Descobre as diferenças mil e uma entre povos, culturas, skillsets, experiências, atmosfera do trabalho, e lifestyles. Sua atribuição? Para estabelecer uma colaboração harmonious. Como controla isso? “Ser honesto é a chave.”
Enquanto um Chow de Hongkie real do `' (os povos carregados e levantados em Hong Kong) é trazido acima no conhecimento que seu futuro é rosy. “Há um escritor muito bem-respeitado em Hong Kong que escreveu um artigo nomeado `que eu sou um Hongkie'. Explicou que Hong Kong teve a prosperidade muito boa sobre os últimos vinte anos, e que as possibilidades são altamente favorável para todo o Hongkies. Conseqüentemente nós podemos ter vindo pensar de que nós somos um pouco melhores do que o chinês do mainland. Mas naturalmente, nós não somos. A coisa a mais importante que eu aprendi sobre myself quando eu vim a China, é que eu tenho ainda muito para aprender. Seja apenas truthful a yourself sobre isto.”

O Chow não tem nenhuma dúvida Westerners pode aprender do chinês. Os “chineses sabem a cultura chinesa. Seria um sin grande para não usar seu conhecimento. O que você tem que ganhar o excesso é o reticence chinês. Quando você pede a um homem chinês sua opinião, pensará sobre as conseqüências de sua resposta de demasiado.
Faz exame do tempo para ele a ascendente aberto do `'. It’s a matter of trust.”
Western discipline
And the other way round? Can China learn from the West? One of the biggest cultural differences Stanley Chow noticed in China in discipline. “For example, when you go to a bus station in Hong Kong, you automatically queue. In China, you can put up a big sign at the bus stop, saying ‘Please form a queue here’, but they will make sure that they’re the first to get on that bus. Foreigners frown upon this kind of behaviour. The necessary discipline, along with experience in communicating with Western people, is something useful the Chinese can learn.”
Keep asking
How do you become a role model for your Chinese colleague? According to Chow the earlier mentioned honesty, as well as transparency and integrity are the key to success. “What you want to do is to make them feel that, even though you are their manager, you are also learning from them. Show them you care about their opinion. A very convenient way to do this is to keep asking questions. Obviously out of real interest, never as a ‘trick’. Ask about their home town, their culture, their habits, education, wishes, experiences, and ask about their profession. Doing so, you will explore skillsets in your company, you will start to build on trust and encourage them to speak out more freely. All at the same time.”
Hybrid business motor
Another tip that Chow would give everyone who comes to China, is to cherish your own values. Why? “People who enter the Chinese market sometimes tend to be personally altered by the Chinese culture too much. They over-adapt. My advice: “Just live the way you are living”. China is internationalizing very rapidly, which means that your Western way of thinking is welcome. The Chinese are eager to learn from you. If you want to make your business an all-Chinese thing, why not let the Chinese take care of it themselves? We need to do this together. With a lot of interaction and integration. At the end of the day the business motor will become a hybrid of the different cultures. Exactly what the Chinese are looking for.”
