In this workshop we discuss the typical German way of working and behaviour of your German colleagues. We will find out why things are done in a certain way and what goals Germans pursue with it but also which conflicts may occur. Moreover, we define the role of an employee and a superior. At the end, we will compare your native culture with the German culture and use case studies to practice analyzing different perspectives and discuss possible solutions to avoid misunderstandings.
