Some Lessons Learned
The best way to understand your own culture is to move away from it.

To succeed in intercultural relationships, you have to do more than simply understand differences: you must also respect them. 

If you want people to follow you, you must first be willing to follow them. 

The most important management skill of all is the ability to listen – truly listen. 

The most open communication in an organization takes place in front of the coffee machine.

Motivation is a very personal matter.
