Managing Mindsets Cultural diversity enriches the business world as well as society. Yet, the cultural advantage does not always arise spontaneously. Twelve real-life cases show the bumpy road to better understanding culture's ways. The cases are presented by ten cross-cultural experts, whose daily work amounts to managing mindsets. Authors Mijnd Huijser and Danaë Huijser analyse each case, using the highly practical Model of Freedom to interpret cultural behaviour. Professionals in the international arena, who are involved in change processes, personal growth, conflict resolution, recruitment, social integration or mergers and acquisitions, will benefit from the practitioners' perspectives in this book. - This book presses the right button on many issues from which classic cross-cultural theory shies away. - - A must for all managers in a multinational environment. - - Inciting readers to self-reflection and open mindedness. - |

The Cultural Advantage It is all too common for people in international groups to misunderstand each other, either in a spectacular fashion or, more often, a subtle way that impedes progress. With over 13 years of training international and intercultural groups, Mijnd Huijser has developed, tested and refined a powerful tool that helps overcome the obstacles inherent in global teams. While most of the experience comes from multinational organisations, the insights are applicable on a national level, an organisational level and even a small unit level when differing cultures cooperate. Mijnd's Model of Freedom provides a visual and practical method for understanding oneself and others, converting tension to energy and leveraging the advantage of culture. - Mijnd puts in writing what he has been teaching at 3M over the past 8 years. I just can't see how people would be able to work successfully in a global environment without this kind of knowledge. His work has become a very important and integral part of our education and training concept. - |

The Profit of Peace This book analyses cases of multinational corporations operating in conflict regions, and comes up with best practices. Two vital elements emerged from interviews with high-level managers in countries like Afghanistan, Burma and Rwanda. Firstly, the ability to manage cultural differences is a key factor for success. Secondly, ethically correct decisions do not necessarily lead to ethically correct results. With a foreword by Major-General Patrick Cammaert, Military Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. |
