About the Book
Few are prepared for managing across cultures, and the costs of cultural blind spots can spin out of control--from lawsuits to lost opportunities. Forged in the fire of clashing cultures and living on four continents, Dr. Zweifel developed a fool-proof methodology for managing successfully across borders. And post-9/11, the Arab Spring and the BRICS emerging markets, e-commerce and social networks have made this updated and expanded edition of Culture Clash indispensible.
Dr. Thomas D. Zweifel is a strategy & performance expert, game-changer and coach for leaders of Global 1000 companies--from Airbus to Zurich. Since 1984 he has partnered with clients on four continents to meet their business imperatives. An authority on integrating planning, people and performance, he helps his clients ask the right questions, confront taboos, build vision and strategy alignment, and boost the productivity of organizations, teams and managers. Ultimately Dr. Zweifel’s specialty is unleashing the human spirit in organizations—without unnecessary blah-blah, impractical training programs, or false dependencies on high-priced consultants.
