The Loudest Duck
Moving Beyond Diversity while Embracing Differences to Achieve Success at Work
Samenvatting
Written in an accessible style,
The Loudest Duck is a business fable that offers an alternate view of a multicultural workplace through the use of practical stories and cultural anecdotes. For instance, the Chinese teach their children, "The loudest duck gets shot," a viewpoint that gets carried into adulthood, while many Americans are taught, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." As a result, you find two distinct ways of doing business, neither one being necessarily the right or better way. By understanding others′ viewpoint, you can understand how better to work with them.
