Americans and Israelis

If you’re an Israeli company expanding to the USA

You now have teams both in Israel and in the US, and they are not working well together…

The Israelis think that the Americans are too formal, unfriendly, focused only on procedures, and the Americans think that the Israelis are sloppy, aggressive and unprofessional.

Bridging these culture differences will be critical to success.

I understand how both cultures work and think, and I’ll help
your teams overcome the gaps and collaborate better.

As a child, I grew up in both Israel and the US. As an executive,
I led the integration of an Israeli site post-acquisition and helped
many US-Israel teams collaborate successfully by leveraging their culture gaps.

 

What you need to make it work

  • Awareness and acknowledgment of the cultural differences

  • Mutual goals, defined roles and responsibilities

  • Expectation management and alignment

  • Extensive communication

  • Norms of work

  • Building rapport and trust
