Please provide the EXACT passage that you prefer. “I often use the term “active listening.” Listening to what someone says and then repeating it back in your own words to confirm mutual understanding has serious value in global success. Dr. Richard D. Lewis, in his book When Cultures Collide (published in 1996), classified the differences in the culture of leadership by country. The classifications for styles of leadership numbered 24 and were reviewed by Cadreo at http://www.cadreo.com/actualites/dt-les-24styles-de-management-dans-le-monde. It is worth a glance to better understand the very large differences in leadership, even in countries that share the same language(s).”
