In an increasingly globalised market, it is imperative that
in-house lawyers understand and appreciate the cultural
idiosyncrasies of everyone who sits across from you at the
negotiating table – especially given that the age of coronavirus
has “changed how we communicate”.
On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome
Doraisamy is joined by Diligent assistant general counsel and
three-time Lawyers Weekly Award winner Haylen Pong to talk about
the need for in-house lawyers to improve their communication skills
and ensure that, in a post-pandemic world that will be increasingly
virtual, they are as attuned to cultural sensitivities as possible
for the benefit of their businesses.
The pair delve into whether improved cultural awareness should form
part of one’s professional development and other practical ways to
increase cultural sensitivity, and the need to make time for such
education, including how it can assist when one sits at the
negotiating table and/or when advising senior management.
