Why
the Invisible Elephant? Many aspects of culture are invisible, yet
culture has an enormous impact on our lives. Like an Invisible Elephant,
if ignored these aspects can lead to misunderstanding, stress and
conflict. Alternatively, if attention is given to the Invisible
Elephant, it can enhance productivity, improve teamwork and create
more joy in our lives.
Dealing with cross cultural issues can be like
trying to control an Invisible Elephant. The issues are real and
crucial as we journey into this new era of increasing globalisation.
The Invisible Elephant will improve your understanding
and awareness of all cultures, including your own. It's a user-friendly,
easy to read guide designed to increase your effectiveness when
dealing with people of different cultures. The theories and models
presented will increase your Cultural Intelligence and help you
prepare for tomorrow's world today.
Recent feedback on the book by Ruth Maitland, Managing Director
of Maitland Consulting Group:
"...the model about Cultural mindfulness ... highlights
a thousand things to think about in terms of joint ventures in different
cultures and what an organisation can learn on its joint venture
journey.
I think it is a logical book to recommend to anyone dealing
globally or with diverse cultures it highlights we all need
to do a little thinking first before we do anything
with people."
