Coaching Across Cultures
This supports the excellent book called Coaching Across Cultures by Philippe Rosinski. Dealing with Cultural Differences (page 30) This 7-Stage Model is adapted from the work of Milton Bennett. | Ethnocentric Pitfalls - Culture as a Given |
| 1. Ignore differences be physically or mentally isolated/separated
deny
|
| 2. Recognize differences but evaluate them negatively denigrate others
feel superior
place others on a pedestal
|
| 3. Recognise differences but minimise their importance trivialize
fail to notice uniqueness - "we are all the same"
|
| Ethnorelative Approaches (Culture as a process) |
| 4. Recognise and accept differences acknowledge, appreciate, understand
acceptance is no agreement, surrender
acceptance needs to be instinctual and emotional as much as intellectual
|
| 5. Adapt to differences move outside one's comfort zone
empathy (temporary shift in perspective)
adaptation is not adoption, assimilation |
| 6. Integrate differences hold different frames of reference in mind
analyze and evaluate situations from various cultural perspectives
remain grounded in reality:essential to avoid becoming dazzled by too many possibilities |
| 7. Leverage differences make the most of differences, strive for synergy
proactively look for gems in different cultures
achieve unity through diversity
