Of im Heimatland of im buitenland, zakelijk succes in een geglobaliseerde wereld vereist de vaardigheid om culturele verschillen te navigeren. Erin Meyer, een gerenommeerde expert, leidt door dit complexe terrein waar mensen met verschillende achtergronden moeten samenwerken. Zelfs met Engels als globale taal kunnen culturele misverstanden ontstaan die carrières in gevaar brengen. Voorbeelden zijn een Braziliaanse manager die de werkwijze van zijn Chinese leverancier wil begrijpen, of een Amerikaanse chef die de dynamiek tussen Russische en Indiase teamleden moet managen. De "Culture Map" biedt een praxiserprobte model om te begrijpen hoe culturele verschillen het internationale succes beïnvloeden. Meyer combineert een analytisch framework met praktische tips om de effectiviteit van samenwerking te verhogen. Acht dimensies, waaronder communiceren, leiden en vertrouwen, worden bekeken. Deze helpen om medewerkers te motiveren, klanten te plezieren of succesvolle conference calls te plannen. Lezers leren hun positie in de culturele context te herkennen en te begrijpen hoe cultuur de internationale samenwerking beïnvloedt om misverstanden te vermijden.

Netflix cofounder Reed Hastings unveils the unconventional culture that has propelled one of the most innovative companies in the world. Netflix is unique not only for revolutionizing the entertainment industry and generating billions in revenue but also for its radical management principles that defy tradition. Hastings established a set of counterintuitive guidelines that prioritize people over processes, innovation over efficiency, and context over control. At Netflix, mediocre performance results in generous severance, and hard work is not the primary measure of success. Employees are encouraged to provide candid feedback rather than simply trying to please their bosses, and they operate without needing approval, with salaries that are always competitive. When these principles were first introduced, their implications were largely untested, yet they have fostered remarkable flexibility, speed, and boldness within the company. The culture of freedom and responsibility has enabled Netflix to adapt and evolve alongside changing global demands. Hastings, alongside Erin Meyer, a prominent business thinker, explores the philosophies that underpin Netflix's success through interviews with employees and personal anecdotes, revealing the untold story of a company that continues to make a significant impact worldwide.
