I said the UK was more egalitarian than Germany and the comments challenged it. Here’s why cultural traits only make sense in context. I grew up British, live in Germany, and share a home with Brazil too — so my perspective is always relative. #culturemap #crosscultural #communication #germany #uk #brazil #leadership #meetings
متى تكون متفاني؟ ومتى تكون أناني؟
البعد الثاني من أبعاد هوفستد هو الفردية مقابل الجماعية (Individualism vs. Collectivism)،
ويقيس مدى تفضيل الناس في المجتمع للعمل كأفراد مستقلين مقابل الانتماء إلى مجموعات مترابطة.
في الثقافات الفردية، الأهداف الشخصية هي الأساس،
والهوية تُعرَّف بعبارة “أنا”.
أما في الثقافات الجماعية، فالأولوية لأهداف الفريق أو العائلة أو المنظمة،
والهوية تُعرَّف بعبارة “نحن”.
لكن مع الجيل الجديد؟ الصورة تغيّرت شوي.
صرنا نشوف مزيج بين “أنا اللي سويت” و“إحنا اللي أنجزنا”.
وهنا يجي دور الذكاء الثقافي 💡 —
إنك تعرف متى تتكلم باسمك، ومتى باسم الفريق.
فكر فيها…
في شغلك اليوم، أنت أكثر “أنا”؟ ولا “إحنا”؟
