  5. In order for firms to change and grow, individuals must first change. Change cannot occur without knowing oneself and others …

  6. Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI) • Self scores, not important to compare to colleagues • Similar to Myers-Briggs Personality Test • www.humanmetrics.com for a free test • Understand key factors related to cross-cultural adaptability • Become self-aware • Improve skills • It is a “training instrument designed to provide information to an individual about his or her potential for cross-cultural effectiveness”. • Self-report, easy scoring. Instant profile with norms.

  7. CCAI: Emotional Resilience (ER)bounces back from stressful feelings; has emotional equilibrium, a positive attitude, a sense of adventure) • Meet someone new (from another culture) or do something new relating to a culture different from your own • Remind yourself of strengths then do something you can’t do perfectly. • When you experience difficult feelings find out the core reason behind them. Learn to see the silver lining. • Develop your sense of humor. Find a way to laugh at yourself or distance yourself from a situation.

  8. CCAI: Flexibility/Openness (FO)(lacks rigidity, is nonjudgmental, likes people, enjoys diversity) • Interact with people who are different (ideas, interests) from yourself. Learn to appreciate the differences. • Diversify social life, include a variety of people and activities. Appreciate and show respect for others; avoid trying to impress them. • Enjoy being alone from time to time (read, hike, etc...) • Do things at a pace different from your normal one. Appreciate the benefits of the different pace. • Visit a cultural setting different than your own (festival, ethnic restaurant)

  9. CCAI: Perceptual Acuity (PAC)(accurate perceive feelings of others; attentive to verbal/non-verbal cues, aware of communication dynamics, empathetic) • Learn how people in other cultures communicate and how they perceive your culture. • Practice “active listening”. Restate what you hear and watch for their reaction. Keep exploring until you understand. • Ask how others perceive you. Understanding these perceptions aids in interacting with that person. • Observe body language, your own and others. Watch international TV with the sound off and observe body language. What are your perceptions?

  10. CCAI: Personal Autonomy (PA)(clear personal value system, strong sense of identity, self-directed, self-respecting) • Clarify personal values. Rank order what is genuinely important to you. Examples: privacy, love, money, loyalty and honesty. What makes these so important? • Discuss your personal values. Take action on your values. • Make decisions based on what is important, regardless of what others may value. Or remember a situation when you made a decision and think how you can create a better outcome next time. • Value people who are different from yourself. Seek out these people and get to know and respect your differences.
