MANAGEMENT STYLE IN BRITISH’S BUSINESS

Business culture has always been a part of the national culture and the language used is a major factor that influences business culture. But for British, American and Australian, they all use English, do they have the same culture, business characteristics? The answer is no. In many cases, they don’t even like to do business with each other.
British managers are more inclined to learn the whole rather than the details. They may not be good experts, but they manage very well with a wide experience in many different fields. In addition, they do not like to put the issue of degree seriously, meaning that they care more about what they have done than what they have learned at university. So in the UK, you rarely see British people print their titles or qualifications after their names on business cards.
Over the past 40 years, the management structure has become more beautiful and less hierarchical. CEOs of large companies are usually only four or five levels higher than their new recruits, so reaching out and interacting with all of them is not only possible but also a positive part in British style management.
However, this intimacy and intimacy do not mean that they will be soft when making difficult decisions. The British find it difficult to speak openly and English managers often instruct subordinates in an indirect way, preferring to ask for help rather than speaking out. This English way of speaking sometimes confuses people.
In non-confrontational business situations, the British equate speaking frankly with open confrontation and fear that bluntness will offend the other side. This has led to the British seeming to avoid facing situations when they are really looking for ways to say the negative in a positive way.
In addition to being smart, English people often use language in a coding way, they prefer to say unpleasant things by using positive and more acceptable phrases. Because of that, “I disagree” becomes “I think you’ve done some very good points but you’ve never considered …” and the lack of interest in an idea is often greeted with “Hmm, that’s a very interesting point”.
