Don’t mess with my Professionalism

ACE-ing business through intercultural conflict resolution

Questioning others’ professionalism is an immediate negative reaction that many international executives have when they are facing a behavior, which is culturally different from theirs and which they don’t understand in the workplace. ‘Professionalism’ becomes the alibi for ethnocentrism, which in turn, jeopardizes relationships at work and reduces chances of success in the evergrowing multicultural business world. In this book, Vanessa Barros goes beyond individual views of ‘professionalism’ to provide effective strategies to resolve intercultural conflict.
