Below are comments US nationals have made after working with their Indian colleagues.  Our one day program, “Working with Indians”, navigates the client issues and debriefs why frustrations might occur. The course provides executives with an understanding of different beliefs, thinking patterns, work styles and how to interact more effectively with colleagues from around the world.

“ Whenever I asked for their price quote, they just kept responding with comments about a long-term relationship.”

“Sometimes I get so frustrated with the rigid ‘by the book’ attitude.”

“I feel as though I am pulling teeth to get a solution-oriented answer.”

"I just want to know the truth on task status - good or bad. I'd rather know today that we're running behind than hear we are on target and find out later that we’ve missed our deadline."

"My Indian colleagues seem to think it's okay to keep everyone who made the effort to be on time wait. Do meeting start times have no meaning?"

“He just tells us what to do, to do it now and never says please. It’s like we are his servants instead of his team.”

“I wish he’d just let loose a little bit and act more casual. I’m his colleague. He can call me by my first name.”
