Germany
Because Germans, those leading as well as those being led, prefer generally formulated, mission oriented tasks (more what, less how), they maintain longer lines of communication: less interaction, less frequent status meetings, fewer iterations on tactical issues.
United States
Because Americans﹣those leading as well as those being led﹣prefer specific, command oriented tasks (both what and how), it follows that team leads will maintain shorter lines of communication with their team members: more interaction, more frequent status meetings, more iterations on tactical issues.
