In particular, there was a gap between how things were executed in Korea and had evolved locally&#8211; to a model less efficient and with time-consuming procedures.<\/p>\n<p>To begin,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trust<\/strong> There is a very strong trust within teams and in the company. This is often because of a legacy in achieving many bold accomplishments\u2014often seemingly impossible tasks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family<\/strong> Traditional family norms permeate the work culture (Elder brother as boss, senior managers, etc.) and the related concept that co-workers are seen as family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenge<\/strong> A one-word summary of the Korean workplace would be Challenge&#8211;both in what it has overcome and in what it expects of its global employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Input<\/strong> Companies are very hierarchical, but actively demands input from all levels. In fact, top management make decisions based on the expectation that the lower levels have considered all possible outcomes and challenges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teamwork<\/strong> Once a decision is made all dissenting or differing opinions unite to embrace success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong> In Korea, employees do not bad mouth or put down their company. In fact, employees feel that such an attitude is \u201cpart of the problem\u201d and not \u201cpart of the solution.\u201d Even among friends, negative thoughts are not shared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relationships<\/strong> From higher ranks to the lower ranks, they are very hierarchical. But, here are also very protective organizations. On one level, norms dictate that Seniors are demanding of their Junior employees. One reason is to make sure Juniors learn the work expectations, practices, and culture.<\/p>\n<p>On another level, workers must ensure that mistakes are not made that could reflect badly on their Seniors the department, or the company. Once a Junior works for a Senior that Jr. is part of a network of other employees under the umbrella or protection of the Senior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expectations<\/strong> There are very high expectations that must be met.\u00a0 Doing a great job is what you are paid to do\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Collaboration<\/strong> The American workplace process is often to receive an assignment, clarify details, go off, work hard, and come back to the manager with the result.<\/p>\n<p>The Korean staff will take a different approach. They will receive an assignment, work and discuss it collectively with others, and go back to the manager on multiple occasions informally to make sure they are following the path the manager wants. This method takes times, but Korean workers know when the manager sees the result, it will be what the senior requested.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adaptability<\/strong> Flexibility and acceptance of change. Projects are subject to lots of change\u2014some speed up, while others stall.<\/p>\n<p>Questions, Comments?\u00a0 Want to chat?<\/p>\n<p>Just go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetme.so\/southerton\">http:\/\/www.meetme.so\/southerton<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oh one more thing,<\/p>\n<p>I was very pleased that my favorite Korean food brand Mad for Garlic is expanding into the Middle East.\u00a0 Here are some links sharing more.\u00a0 The brand would do well in the US.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1004 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/everything-korea-episode-september-14-ten-insights\/mg-image\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MG-image-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/everything-korea-episode-september-14-ten-insights\/mfg-logo\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MFG-Logo-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoteliermiddleeast.com\/24482-first-garlic-themed-restaurant-to-open-in-the-uae\/\">http:\/\/www.hoteliermiddleeast.com\/24482-first-garlic-themed-restaurant-to-open-in-the-uae\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gulfretailnews.com\/en\/news\/food-beverage\/item\/17491-garlic-themed-restaurant-mad-for-garlic-to-enter-the-middle-east\">http:\/\/www.gulfretailnews.com\/en\/news\/food-beverage\/item\/17491-garlic-themed-restaurant-mad-for-garlic-to-enter-the-middle-east<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alahliholdinggroup.com\/al-ahli-holding-group-brings-mad-for-garlic-to-the-middle-east\/\">http:\/\/alahliholdinggroup.com\/al-ahli-holding-group-brings-mad-for-garlic-to-the-middle-east\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Plus one more link on US opportunity here,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/unbouncepages.com\/mfg-2\/\">http:\/\/unbouncepages.com\/mfg-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode I\u2019d like to share\u00a0 \u201cTen Insights into Korean business.\u201d\u00a0 This is something I often incorporate into one on one coaching and mentoring sessions.\u00a0 It was also developed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16802,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[213,3,214,219],"tags":[108,19,161,177,201],"class_list":["post-1004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary","category-general","category-news","category-vodcast","tag-bridging-culture-worldwide","tag-don-southerton","tag-korea-consulting","tag-korea-market-entry","tag-mad-for-garlic"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
