Culture & communication

The Culture Map is one of the most exciting books I've read recently. A quick summary of my preferences based on that book will be listed below.

tl;dr, I match more or less with German culture.

I'm egalitarian, and I try to reflect that in my language. Hence, it will be very low-context to help anybody with a different background understand my message. I have no problem receiving a justified critique and am keen to openly discuss my strengths and weaknesses.

Mixing the low-context trait with my confrontational attitude may be received as rude, but I try to emphasize and adjust to my interlocutor. I strongly prefer to work out a consensus rather than impose my will or be imposed on one.

Regarding "theory vs. practice," I stand in the middle - one cannot exist with the other, and I prefer to know both. Same with time - it's good to be on schedule, but not everything should be scheduled.

Preferred working hours

Disclaimer 1: My hours depend on the season, e.g., in winter, I miss the sun so much (greetings from 51°N) that I prefer to have a longer break around noon.

Disclaimer 2: My notion of "a season" is strictly European.

Disclaimer 3: Those are preferred, but I am flexible.
