Bangkok Post, Thailand, Kriengsak Niratpattanasai Column.
Byline: Kriengsak Niratpattanasai
Mar. 1--Last week, I delivered a one-hour briefing on "Tips for Thais" for a multinational company. The objectives were twofold: to stimulate the awareness of Thais in the company to improve their competency, and to learn from each other by sharing experiences.
The original idea was to educate Thais about the different requirements of an international environment. But to my surprise, half of the 25 participants were non-Thai. I didn't expect non-Thais to join the session based on the topic under discussion. However, most of them told me that they wanted to learn more about Thais so they could adapt their working style.
