Culture as an Iceberg illustrates 3 levels of culture: Cultural Makeup That Is Visible, Cultural Makeup We Are Aware Of, and Cultural Makeup We are Unaware Of. These three dimensions of the cultural iceberg are made up subjective and objective components. Discuss the following:
- Discuss one subjective and one objective dimensions of culture from each level. Explain how leaders are challenged to pay attention to these dimensions. What is the outcome if they choose to ignore these dimensions?
- How do leaders deal with a cross-cultural team that has both monochronic and polychronic cultures represented? How does a leader deal with the team members who come from a different ‘time-based’ culture as him/herself?
