Wow, the way he noticed and asked for it … “ Do you need some water “ at 1:05:10 , it shows how is very great in showing us how can we do things with each other and respect each other … what a great episode ✨
You're spot on in your explanation of Canadian business culture, but I think you've also highlighted exactly why we have terrible productivity and sweeping monopolies across industries. Real success and profitability require boldness, a willingness to take risks, and embracing innovation. These are qualities our current business culture lacks, and it's lead to the negative landscape we're seeing today.
Now I know why I like living in Montréal where anything goes. You can wear whatever you want, whether it's considered acceptable or not and speak your truth. Individual temperament matters.
I wish I knew all these hidden rules earlier. I read his book and it has definitely helped me realize what I have been doing wrong at work. I would recommend other newcomers in Canada to learn about its culture
Some people, like me, don't pick up on subtle cues. Indirect communication can be very confusing, for example: people who laugh while saying something serious or critical. Mixed messages. This is the problem with multi-culturalism. We have no cultural connection so we end up tip-toeing around each other. It's unpredictable and, therefore, hard work that can affect your ability just to do the job. We also carry our family of origin style of communicating or lack thereof.
The episode is great, but I also have mixed feelings. Back home, we appreciate feedback as it is a way to improve both your productivity and the company's. I have held my job since I arrived, but I have grown faster than my employer, and I really wish my company could grow at the same rate. I have sharpened my analytical skills, and of course, it's good for the company to compete. Sadly, numbers are not indirect; they are there whether we like it or not. I really think this way of communication significantly impacts productivity because the market can work like this here, but the rest of the world is competitive.
So, ultimately there is no Canadian culture. It's just as mash-up. No wonder individuals don't seem to have an identity. I've been accused of having no identity because I've had to be a chameleon, having come from Northern Ireland, a very conflict-ridden land.
Sounds like an emotionally immature society. An emotionally mature person is able to understand that constructive criticism is necessary for growth and constantly being defensive to avoid conflict results in tiptoeing around each other. It also breeds passive aggression and perpetual confusion. No wonder Canada lacks innovation. Sorry…not sorry.
justin trudeau asked trump how can Canada can help so trump told him in other words that dinner wasn't the place to talk business that is why he said what he said about Canada becoming the 51st state he was joking with him but Justin made an ass of himself. trump was surprised by it. trudeau needs to grow up. I'm from Canada , Hamilton Ont. I'm sensitive about Canada and hate what Justin Trudeau has done to Canada, We are dealing with the communist dems here in the states , and you have your problems to coming against Christians in Canada. because of your communistic PM, and party. My Prayer that people will begin to love one another as Christ Jesus has commanded us to do. I'm a pastor this is where God has me now I have missed Canada. we need to grow up and put off childish things. God Bless America and Canada.

That would explain why my favorite new Canadian company, Mid-Day Squares, is doing so well. Their brand *is* boldness. 😉

As an international student here in Canada I believe this should be taught in every college & university ❤
