Individualistic cultures tend to be low context cultures.
In these cultures the message is interpreted independent of its context.

Leadership: What is it for Who?
“Arabs worship their leaders – as long as they are in power”
“The Dutch place emphasis on egalitarianism and are skeptical about the value of leadership. Terms like leader and manager carry a stigma. If a father is employed as a manager, Dutch children will not admit it to their schoolmates…”
“Russians seek power, strength and authority in their leaders.”
“The Malaysian leader is expected to behave in a manner that is humble, modest and dignified.”
![Page 27: Cross Cultural](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050906/55641699d8b42a130c8b58c4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

“The Americans appreciate two kinds of leaders. They seek empowerment from leaders who grant autonomy and delegate authority to subordinates. They also respect the bold, forceful, confident, and risk-taking leader as personified by John Wayne.”
“For Europeans,everything seems to indicate that leadership is an unintended and undesirable consequence of democracy.”
“Indians prefers leaders who are nurturant, caring, dependable, sacrificing and yet demanding, authoritative, and strict disciplinarian.”
“German leaders / managers are expected to have the expertise in resolving technical problems. There is no need to ‘motivate’ workers; all they need to do is to answer all the questions.”

Summary of Part II National and organizational culture has an impact on leadership and HRM
practices.
There needs to be a fit between the cultural context and HRM practices. Which one to change first to enhance the fit: values or practices?
The winning combination: adapt the HRM practices to fit the organizational culture & adapt the organizational culture to fit the HRM practices.
Start changing the HRM practices gradually.
Start the change at the behavioral level. Through rewarding and modeling of the correct behavior, values are expected to change. Leadership is the key in this process.
Cultural change should be supported by HRM systems: recruitment & selection, training & development, performance appraisal & rewarding.

How to Manage Cross-Cultural Interfaces and Culture Change
![Page 49: Cross Cultural](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050906/55641699d8b42a130c8b58c4/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Cultural intelligence is being skilled and flexible about understanding a culture, learning increasingly more about it, and gradually shaping one’s thinking to be more sympathetic tot eh culture and one’s behavior to be more fine-tuned and appropriate when interacting with others from the culture (Thomas & Inkson, 2005).
Knowledge – of culture and of the fundamental principles of cross-cultural interactions. Knowing what culture is, how cultures vary, and how culture affects behavior.
Mindfulness – the ability to pay attention in a reflective and creative way to cues in the cross-cultural situations encountered.
Behavioral skills – based on knowledge and mindfulness. These skills become competent across a wide range of situations and involve choosing the appropriate behavior from a well-developed repertoire of behaviors that are correct for different intercultural situations.
CQ: A Key to effectively managing cross-cultural difference

“A person with high cultural intelligence can somehow tease out of a person’s or group’s behavior those features that would be true of all people and all groups, those peculiar to this person or this group, and those that are neither universal nor idiosyncratic” (Earley & Masokowski, 2004, p.140)
Cultural intelligence has three components (Earley & Ang, 2003)
Cognitive: The skills needed to conceptualize a new culture and to gather information about a new world.
Motivational: Desire to adapt to the other culture.
