| Working
Effectively with Israelis
|
|
| Israel is a culturally complex country. Do not make the assumption that just because English is spoken well and the highly trained professionals with whom you work seem, on the surface, similar to their peers anywhere, you will not encounter cultural minefields along the way.
.
Communicating effectively
with people from Israel presents a key challenge for companies and work teams. Marked differences in expectations and norms impacts routine internal and external business interactions, for example, in meetings, managerial and peer relationships, and dealing with customers. Culture gaps can cause shared business endeavors to miss their goals.
Cultural Savvy works with the best cross-cultural training experts to assist clients in working effectively in Israel and with Israeli business leaders, managers and personnel.

Israelis should not make the assumption that just because they have experience working with people in the US, they will not encounter cultural minefields. Often, people on the US side do not indicate clearly to Israelis when culture gaps are barriers to business partnerships. Israelis can be surprised when things don’t go as intended.
Cultural differences can sabotage success for Israelis working with the US---for example, communication style, expectations in meetings and presentations, manager-employee roles, building client relationships. Israelis can easily misread US communication codes, while the Israeli communication style does not always have the desired results in the US business environment.
Cultural Savvy works with the best cross-cultural training experts to assist Israeli clients work effectively in the US and with US ventures and companies, teams, managers and employees.
