Act 10 – The Cost

If this and other differences in how the two cultures communicate are constantly at play when Germans and Americans collaborate, they will influence their collaboration:

On the productivity of the working relationship within the leadership team: meaning between Hans and his German direct reports on the one side, and his three new American direct reports on the other side.

On motivation, and therefore on productivity, within the American organization of two hundred engineers.

On overall cross-Atlantic collaboration within Hans’ organization: meaning between the American and the German engineering colleagues.

Question
How could this unfortunate chain of events have negatively impacted Hans’ organization?
