Deadlines and
Meeting Times
There is a saying in countries like
Germany and the U.S.,
"Time is money"' People think of
wasting time as the
same as wasting or losing money. If you miss a deadline
or are late to a
meeting, people might get mad. In other
countries like Italy and Greece,
people are less strict
about deadlines and
appointments. Meetings and
conversations start and end when it feels right, not when
the clock strikes 2 p.m.

Getting Things Done vs. Building Relationships

In many Western countries,
people want to get as much
done in as little time as possible.
They get impatient if
decisions are not made fast enough. In other
countries,
taking time to build relationships is more important than
getting things done fast. That's why meetings often start
with lots of small talk before getting down to
business.
