We've all heard about the benefits of cultural diversity in the workplace--improved creativity, innovation, productivity, and employee satisfaction. 
Yet, we don't hear a lot about all of the problems that can arise in culturally diverse workplaces. 

"The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer is a roadmap to understanding the differences in how we work and navigating those differences successfully. That way, we can experience the benefits of cultural diversity in the workplace.

In this episode, we'll explore the US Business Culture. If you work with Americans, this is your chance to learn how to build trust effectively, disagree, persuade, communicate, lead, and more!
