Scenario

When business partnerships require navigating indirect communication styles

My Vietnamese business partner and I can never make decisions quickly because every suggestion gets met with 'that's interesting, let me think about it' even when it's clearly a no, and I'm learning that direct disagreement isn't how he operates, but our clients are getting frustrated with how long everything takes.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two partners need to bridge different decision-making rhythms while serving clients who expect rapid responses.
