:.
When he sat down and began speaking, a sour expression is not too lost, but instead increases. There is what in the world? What's wrong? Apparently Mr. Joko delayed 15 minutes into the meeting room.
Not only that, he immediately started a conversation, assuming it can save time everyone present.Many businesses, especially those who travel a lot, will find a variety of custom or tradition that they do not understand.
Conduct and procedures for doing business may vary. Much can we learn from foreign cultures that, although it sometimes invites confusion at once admiration. For Pak Joko, 15-minute delay in their home country has been taken for granted.
When he speaks directly to save time, the country may be considered as a practical action and to the point. However, in Japanese, it turns out it was regarded as an act which is less polite.Behind the custom in every country, manners and saved a typical procedure that implies their culture.
Certainly, not all could fit if applied elsewhere. However, we must understand the culture of a country if it wants to do business and interact in the country. "Other fields, other grasshoppers."Like the word, in which stand on land, where the heavens hold dear.
We must respect the culture of others if we really intend to collaborate. This applies to both parties. Not only for those who visit, the host should also respect the culture of the visiting party. But usually, the party Have a look at who should be more respect for the host.
Let us examine briefly how the habits of business people in the country of sunrise. Japanese people tend to be formally and officially entered into an agreement or in a business meeting.
For us, the foreigners (or "Gaijin", as the Japanese for foreigners), Japanese business habits seem very thick with culture and tradition, which probably feels stiff or not too suitable to be applied once only in our country, and even in countries west though.
However, if we look deeper, there are many things that are enviable, as was the custom for more respect for older people, conscientious attention to every detail, and even a commitment to have fun after finishing the job.
Here are some traditions or customs that we observe and how we can adapt to further enrich our business procedures.
Respect Other People Name CardA meeting in Japan always begins with a ritual exchange of business cards made formally and officially. This ritual is called Meishi Kokan. In the process of exchanging business cards, people who were given cards accepted with both hands, read the card carefully, read the writings that have to be heard by everyone, then put in place a business card, or on a table in front of it (so that it can directly be read back if needed). Business cards have never put in the bag, because it is considered rude.The lesson to be drawn: The exchange of business cards is a way to express respect and importance on another person in a meeting. It shows you appreciate the meeting, the same as you would appreciate further meetings.How do we adapt: Maybe it would look silly if you really do Kokan Meishi tradition elsewhere.
However, if you receive a business card from someone else, try to read and absorb all the information contained therein. There is no harm in trying to remember the full name of the person. Instead, you'll look rude and disrespectful if you cram a business card directly into the nearest pocket.Succumbing to the OlderIt is the habit of meeting in Japan to always give chance to people who are older and have the highest position to give an opinion or comment in advance.
Older people are also always at least be considered opinion and advice. When bow-greet Japanese tradition-we have always leaned more in to those more senior.The lesson to be drawn: the Japanese business culture to appreciate those more senior to the wisdom and experience they share to the company. In Japan, age is the same rank. So, the older the person, the more precisely he considered important.How do we adapt: We can try for a little give in to people more senior or those who rank higher. If you do not agree / disagree with a manager, take out your complaint in person in a closed room. Do not ever question the authority and power in front of others. Know that those who are above you it is indeed worthy of the people who are promoted because of their expertise and experience. Another case if those who are above you had reached his position through corruption, nepotism and bribery. You better get out of the company.Instill Motivation Through SloganMany Japanese companies start their day with morning meeting, where workers marched and chanted the slogan of the company as one way to instill motivation and loyalty to the company. It is also important to keep all employees be aware of company goals and objectives.The lesson to be taken: At first glance, this tradition may seem like an activity to "brainwashing" or indoctrination. However, this is a Japanese way to instill morale for all employees. The event this morning serves to keep reminding the company's mission and vision that can slowly become blurred as the busy weekdays.How do we adapt:
emind yourself every time you sit at work-what you actually do. Refresh re-vision, mission and long-term goals in mind. Stay aware of how important teamwork and the entire company to achieve that goal. Create your own list of slogans that can be read and remembered longer if you're lost or broken spirit.Serious face Without ExpressionYou will never see the flat faces without expression, as you can see in Japanese offices. Occasionally there may be employees who are laughing, but the workers in general would show a flat facial expression and serious, especially during meetings. They spoke in low and regular. They even often close their eyes when they hear and pay attention to the speaker, this habit is often misunderstood by foreigners who do not understand, as a sign of boredom.The lesson to be drawn: The Japanese consider the workplace as a place that must be respected. They rarely joke unless at leisure or rest.
Rarely any physical contact antarpekerja, especially pat her back or head.How do we adapt:
For us, the working atmosphere that is too stiff and formal may seem excruciating. You do not need to treat the office environment as a sacred place, but also do not apply casually at home. A professional attitude is needed to increase productivity. Honor and respect the work of others.
Keep the volume of voice and laugh, because you do not work alone in the office.Work hard-working, industrious Entertainment AlsoAfter going through the work hours, Japanese workers are ready to relax, very relaxed even. Visited the bar after bar after working hours are common-even in tradition. If the work environment is a place formally and officially, the bar is where Japanese workers berhura-rah. One of the favorite places is the karaoke bar, where everyone is expected to sing along-even though none of them can not sing. In addition, night clubs are also a favorite place, not only to balance work with entertainment, but also to share information and strengthen kinship within a team
