Erin Meyer: The Culture Map

Erin Meyer, a professor at INSEAD, teaches us how to influence cross-culturally. Erin is the author of the bestselling book The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business*.

Key Points

  • It’s more helpful to know how cultures compare to one another on specific issues than it is to just describe a specific culture.
  • Different cultures have signals that mean different things.
  • Historically homogenous cultures tend to be less explicit in their communication styles, with much more communication implied.
  • Americans tend to be very direct except when giving negative feedback, and many people from other cultures find this confusing.
  • Remember to: be curious, be humble, listen before you speak, and learn before you teach.
