Bottom of the Iceberg

  • Czechs tend to be reserved and can appear distant until they feel comfortable
  • Czechs use both formal and informal forms to address people depending on the situation
  • The form of what might seem hesitant is a form of politeness or an indirect way of saying no.
  • Meetings are expected to start on time and it is not uncommon for an associate of the decision maker to lead the meeting in the early stages until trust has been established on both sides.
  • Upon the first introduction, a firm handshake is expected from both men and women along with the appropriate greeting for the time of day.

Hofstedes Connection Individualism
