9. Power and who makes decision

Culture shapes how we relate to power and authority but adapting is also important as professionals navigate different organisations with different cultures.

In this episode, Ting and Dr Catherine discuss power distance, a cultural dimension that affects how people communicate and make decisions.

Listen to the stories of how they met each other as volunteers for a school for migrant workers, Dr. Catherine’s research on the interplay of cultural intelligence and English competence, and Ting’s experience of working in organizations with very different expectations for authority and autonomy.
