 Managing Asians Ineffectively

 

Managing Asians 2:

Actions that Harm


 

 

Some managers have difficulty adjusting to the cultural differences of a new country especially if they are new to expatriate life. They can sometimes be the architect of their own doom unless they are careful. Some of the more common causes of difficulty are listed below. 
 
 
TACTICS THAT 

DESTROY PRODUCTIVITY

 
 

Action 1:
Intolerance

 
A sure method of destroying you career in Asia for all time is to conduct oneself in a bigoted manner. Examples might be expressing disgust at social habits, criticizing the nation’s culture and achievements, prejudging people in a negative manner, etc. 
 

 
Action 2:
Know it All

 
Managers who assume that their own business culture is superior and therefore should be followed in another country will suffer for their assumption. Consideration of the local culture differences is important before jumping to conclusions. 
 

 
Action 3:
Introvert

 
Shy managers experience difficulty being successful in Asia. Social interaction during working hours and after is very important to develop relationships with co-workers, clients and others who can be of assistance. 
 

 

Action 4:
Lack of Trust

 
After a bad experience with a dishonest employee or government official, inexperienced managers can over generalize in a negative manner – “they’re all lazy/stupid/corrupt.” More often in emerging countries, a somewhat larger proportion of the population can seem undisciplined or even deceitful. But most are sincere and eager to help solve problems caused by others of their less perfect countryman. Make allies with these people to overcome.

 

 

Action 5:
Public Scoldings
 

Western managers can sometimes become frustrated enough to lose their temper in a public display against an individual or group. This is almost always a mistake that will lead to retribution down the road or loss of support among staff. Reprimands should be carried out in relative privacy. 
 

 
Action 6:
Language Barrier

 
Most senior staff and even many professional people have good English communication skills that become better year after year. However, English is still their second language and even so the English they learned will seem poles apart at times. Managers need to constantly be careful of misunderstandings in their comments and instructions. 

 

  
Action 7:
Vacation Posting

 
Some managers think working in Southeast Asia is a holiday. They disappear during the week for golf games at the country club. Undisciplined younger managers spend night after night at bars being entertained by women of ill repute. Such conduct is clearly unsuitable and soon well-known by employees and clients. The result is ultimately the shortening of the manager’s posting and career.
