To avoid misunderstandings, we should remember:
1. The first step is to be aware of your own behavior, values, perceptions, ways of working and preferences. What’s normal for us, isn’t for everyone.
2. Have patience. Try to learn as much as we can about the working practices and nuances of the culture that you are working with, but at the same time recognize that you are never going to know everything.

3. Pay particular attention to your own attitudes and those of others in terms of:
- time
- relationships
- communication
- social values
- meetings
4. Know what positive and negative perceptions people from other cultures have about you and your culture.
5. Adapt your communication stile to work effectively with people from other cultures.
