Collaborating With Teamwork

One of my greatest skills is the ability to cooperate with teams. I work very well when cooperating with a group of people to finish a task or project. Collaborating is one of my best skills in respect to cultural synergy. When working internationally, this quality serves as advantage because culturally people approach a problem differently. When it comes to people of different cultures, I always try and find a common ground. Once I find what qualities they have we can both move forward in solving a problem as a team. Another part of me that can serve as a synergistic approach to solving global problems is my ability to recognize people’s strengths, regardless of their culture or even strengths that their culture provides. By doing this we

can create strategies for problems in a multicultural organization. I’ve always thrived in workplaces where policies and processes changed constantly. In a way this is synergistic because managers have to adjust strategies, and processes based on the characteristics of the individuals in that organization. Another great skill I have is that I can deliver instructions in different ways. This would help when leading workers of different cultures with certain procedures. We have to be able to communicate things differently to people of different cultures. Something I read on page 115 that I’ve thought of before taking this class is learning from other cultures so that I can be more effective in my future career and my job now. Looking at other cultures has made me successful in certain areas of life. Care and compassion is needed when solving a problem and implementing a policy or instructions. I’ve always considered myself pretty flexible in context of work. When working with clients from other cultures its important to meet them half way and maybe even change the way you do things.
One thing I could work on is having courage when learning new ways. Managers can implement new synergy strategies that will help their company reach its goals but fear can keep them from doing so. New ways of doing things can be daunting but can bring great results.
