Intercultural Communication
Developing guidelines for an international team
For each stage, work in small groups.
Stage 1 You are in charge of developing guidelines for a multicultural team that is going to work together and meet socially for one month (you are at the forming stage). Write guidelines about the following points. Remember that the guidelines should be reasonably flexible at this stage.
» What should people wear to work?
» How should team members behave when they disagree with each other?
» How punctual should team members be for work and meetings? Can start and finish times be flexible?
» What guidelines should there be concerning physical contact in the workplace, for example touching people or kissing?
» Do you think men should speak to women in the same way they do to each other? Should there be any differences in the way men and women speak to each other?
