Working with Americans: Tips for Danes, my new book, is now available!
Many Danes work for companies that are US-owned or have US divisions. Others deal with American colleagues on the telephone or online every day. Some even travel to the US to meet customers, suppliers or colleagues.
Because Danes speak great English and are exposed to so much American TV, movies, and radio, they tend to think that they have a handle on the American culture and way of doing business.
As the great American composer George Gershwin once wrote, “It ain’t necessarily so.”
Working with Americans: Tips for Danes covers aspects like:
- What should you expect in meetings and negotiations with Americans?
- How can you make small talk with your American colleagues – and which topics should you avoid?
- What do American employees really want from a manager?
- Why do your US customers expect you to be available all the time?
- Why won’t American employees go outside their job descriptions?
