Conflict: Easy ways to disagree

Finding common ground in a conflict is an important task for  managers. Working in a foreign culture makes this even more challenging. Not only the language is a barrier to understanding:

<!–more–>

Also the expectations regarding the behavior in a conflict might be very different. In Germany it is expected that you talk about conflicts early on. Don’t wait until the situation escalates.

Conflict: Say it like it is

Also: Be very clear what your concern is. Germans communicate in a very direct way. An indirect cry for help is often not even understood in Germany. The same is true the other way round: Don’t feel offened when people tell you: “You made a mistake”.

They are (usually) not trying to offend you – but to solve the problem.

New York Times Bestselling author Seth Godin has a few more tips on how to make sure your conflicts get bigger…

Have you made the same experience?

You are well educated, you have professional experience and most important: You have drive and ambition. You want to make a contribution and build a good career.

But German employers don't value your talent. You apply for job after job. You spent hours editing your CV and cover letter to fit perfectly. And then: You don't even get an answer.

There is a way forward! Chris Pyak and the rest of us at Immigrant Spirit GmbH: We want you to succeed.
