Effective communication in today's varied business world is becoming more difficult due to an additional layer of interconnectedness: traditions and culture. Diverse people globally have different cultures and beliefs on how they perceive the world. When one acknowledges and understands the culture of those around them, communication can be productive. It is hard to fully absorb a different culture all at once, so it is vital to listen to and observe individuals patiently. Paying close attention to the verbal and behavioral interactions enables one to picture which behavior patterns are familiar and appropriate in their culture.
