Discussion

Go to the Geert Hofstede Compare Countries website:  https://www.hofstede-insights.com/country-comparison

Search for a country that starts the same letter as your first initial. Read through the cultural dimensions of that country and choose one of the dimensions. Give an example of how you would set up ground rules to have successful team meetings with a group of people that express the behaviors that are identified in the cultural dimension you chose. 

 

Purpose of this discussion: To try out a tool that is used to identify common cultural differences between different countries. This tool is based on data and generalizes some of the customs in a way to promote understanding and reduce judgment. One way to understand how this knowledge is helpful is to apply an example of comparing two cultures in an activity that is common in productive healthcare meetings. Sharing these observations and reflections with others offers additional insights into your own experience and learning. 

Criteria for success: Full credit given if you use the tool to make a comparison and apply it to the team activity of creating ground rules.
