Duration Time  3:05
 
Key Points:

• Eastern and Western cultures view trust differently.
• The degree of intimacy vs credibility varies between countries - Eastern (intimacy) vs Western (credibility).
• In China, as in most of Asia and the middle east, trust is more with family and the inner friendship circle.
• In Australia, as in most Anglo countries, trust is more easily gained in the organisation, in teams and with managers.
• Seek to understand what others want to achieve; in Anglo countries, if what you are doing accelerates the other persons status or recognition you will contribute to building trust.
