Deepti Maes worked for a multinational company as a project manager in Belgium but later transferred to manage a team in Asia. She was excited about her new role but found it a challenge. Despite their friendliness, her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and would often just do tasks their, own way. What Deepti was going through was a cultural clash in expectations. She was used to a more hierarchical framework where the team leader took control and gave specific instructions. This more directive management style worked well for her and her team in Belgium but did not transfer well to her new team in Asia.
