Sumario: | 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. |
