International Business Etiquette Don'ts
These quintessentially American gaffes won't win you fans abroad:
· In Rome, scheduling a client lunch at the Olive Garden.
· In Jordan, suggesting a burka-free casual Friday.
· In Berlin, calling Gerta in accounting "a real Nazi about time sheets."
· In Toronto, asking a colleague if she knows your cousin Brenda, from Ottawa.
· In Tel Aviv, complaining about how your cubemate takes off for all the Jewish holidays.
