commerce require mature diversity managementskills.Customers and co-workers come from a variety of backgrounds,and their customs,thinking,behavior,values,and communicationstyles vary accordingly.Our cultural understanding and literacy,along with our assumptions about business etiquette are beingchallenged by major demographic shifts that bring us face to facewith new people and unfamiliar ideas.Successfully navigating theever-evolving workforce and marketplace requires effective andrespectful communication between people with different linguisticand cultural backgrounds.  \nNo matter how well we attempt to understand each other,weare increasingly finding that communication is hard.Within theworkplace we are often surprised at how differently people approachtheir jobs.Unfamiliarity with cultural communication styles can leadto misinterpretation,misunderstanding and even unintentional insult.  \nThe Cultural Communication Guide identifies areas of keydifferences and subtle distinctions among cultural communitieswhich,when unknown,may compromise trust and cooperation.Wehighlight communication tendencies observable among many U.S.cultural groups as a tool for fostering cross-cultural interactions thatare comfortable,meaningful and inclusive.  \nIt is very important to note that this Guide providesinformation about broad cultural frameworks,dispositions,and  \narchetypes.These categories are intended to help provide answersand insights into the question:What makes people do what they do?Archetypes are deeply imprinted (learned or inherited)unconsciousideas,patterns of thought,beliefs or behaviors that broadly apply to alarge group of people.They are not assumed to apply to eachindividual group member.  \nRemember that cultural patterns are not universal.We must  \nall be vigilant to avoid generalizations and stereotypes about culturalgroups.Variations within and among cultures always exist.In additionto these variations,in our multicultural world,millions of peopleidentify with multiple cultural identities.It is important to maintainrespect for the infinite complexity of each unique human being whichalways defies simple categorization.  \nNOTE:In establishing the categories for this guide,we have used acombination of those established by the U.S.Office of Management   Budgetfor the 2000 Census and common Western geopolitical terms.We do so for easeof navigation,and acknowledge that these may be controversial to some readers.  \n◎ Cook Ross Inc.301.565.4035.May not be reproduced without express permission.  \n# Guidelines for Cross-Cultural Communication\n\n1.Learn from generalizations about other cultures,but don'tuse those generalizations to stereotype,oversimplify orcategorize.  \n2.Don't assume that there is only one right way(your way)tocommunicate.  \n3.Don't assume that breakdowns in communication occurbecause others are wrong or unyielding.  \n4.Listen actively and empathetically.  \n5.Stop,suspend judgment and attempt to look at the situationas an outsider.  \n6.Beware of your assumptions.Invite
