In this video, Isaac Getz addresses the question:
- Are there cultures where a new type of organisation would not be suitable?
Human beings have universal needs (kindness, respect, etc.), but the gestures of trust and consideration vary from one culture to another. This kind of specificity has to be taken into account. Hence the importance of the manager's role as both coach and psychologist, since he is the one who knows the people best.
