We talk about the idea of taking responsibility for how we feel instead of blaming others. We also examine the cultural differences between Western and Chinese cultures on communication styles, power dynamics and the perception of directness. We touch on concepts such as the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world and stages of team development (forming, storming, norming, performing). In an increasingly complicated world we talk about the challenges of sensitivity to feedback, accountability, culture, trust, honesty, and productive communication.Connect with Tilman |8c-consulting.com____________________下载节目文字版: Episode Transcripts____________________If you enjoy this show don't forget to leave a rating and subscribe!小红书: THD The Honest DrinkFollow Us On IG: @thehonestdrink_Join Us On WeChat: THD_OfficialEmail: thehonestdrink@gmail.comFind us on: Spotify, Apple, Google Podcasts, YouTube, 小宇宙, 喜马拉雅, 网易云音乐, 小红书, Bilibili or anywhere you get your podcasts.
