philosophy and the cultural working en- vironment will reflect that. Others focus on spread sheets and are not really bothe- red who or how those results are achieved and again the working culture will reflect this philosophy also. Of course we all have an opinion of what kind of cultures a company should foster in 2010 and in my opinion it can only be lived and breathed throughout a company when the leader really believes that these cultures are re- quired to enable the most successful bu- siness environment. The performance of a multicultural team often depends on how well the management team can relate to its diverse employees and customers. So does our management team understand where its employees come from and what customers really value or is there only one assumed value that is delivered at each fi- nancial term? The great thing about diversity is that

are going in and out. How many different characters (experiences) would he/she meet? Having a diverse group of custo- mers coming into this shop is like walking into a library. Everybody has a different perspective of what is working and what is not and the shop owner can read all those ‘books’ for free. He/she can choose, adapt and shelf products and services that his/her customers want and need. We can translate this example into any business size that operates with a diverse customer base locally or globally. That in turn will be our door opener to numerous oppor- tunities. Once we understand we will be able to accept (not necessarily agree) and we will be able to respond appropriately. Let others surprise us with what they have on offer. Appreciate the differences that others are willing to share because it could show us something that we need exactly right now. I am German and I lived in 3 diffe- rent countries. I worked with 24 different

nationalities. One of the sentences that I heard the most when working with all the- se nationalities was “ This is not how we work in (my country)” and my response was always the same: Ok let’s talk about it, I need to understand and then we see how we can make it work”. I listen very carefully to others and appreciate when they share their thoughts and experience with me. I make sure I understand exactly what they mean before I make my mind up and respond. This has always benefited me and I sincerely hope that you give it a try! I think it is important for us to keep practicing how to open our minds. With experience we learn that diversity is be- neficial to us and to others. If we have a diverse work force then we have a gold mine of differences and it depends on us how confident our team feels to share their experiences with us. Let diversity become our conscious choice. It can change our life, our success, our outlook, how we live and the way we perceive others.
