In fact, it was developed in collaboration with a senior Korea manager more as a reference.<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"cb80\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"a326\">\n<p>Specifically, we looked to share a perspective and explain to the local team the company culture in Korea \u2014 the Westerner employees lacking first-hand knowledge in the mother company and seeing the Company only in their local operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"a326\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"98a2\">\n<p><strong>Ten Insights<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"c58f\">\n<p>\u2022 Trust There is a very strong trust within teams and in the company. This is often because of a legacy in achieving many bold accomplishments \u2014 often seemingly impossible tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"c58f\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"f194\">\n<p>\u2022 Family 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<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"f194\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"aa2a\">\n<p>\u2022 Challenge A one-word summary of the Korean workplace would be Challenge \u2014 both in what it has overcome and in what it expects of its global employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"aa2a\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"5f80\">\n<p>\u2022 Input 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<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"5f80\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"dd7a\">\n<p>\u2022 Teamwork Once a decision is made all dissenting or differing opinions unite to embrace success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"bfb4\">\n<p>\u2022 Solution 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<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"bfb4\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"55b3\">\n<p>\u2022 Relationships 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<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"98d3\">\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<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"98d3\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"088f\">\n<p>\u2022 Expectations There are very high expectations that must be met.

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<\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"9386\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"graf graf--p\" data-blogger-escaped-name=\"d7dc\">\n<p>And in closing and \u00a0Ten Valuable Insights into Korean Business \u2026we conclude w\/ Adaptability \u00a0 \u00a0 Flexibility and acceptance of change.
