2. CROSS-CULTURAL COMPETENCY
I do not want my house to be
walled in on all sides and my
windows to be closed.
I want all the cultures of all
lands to be blown about my
house as freely as possible.
But I refuse to be blown off my
feet by any.

3. THE MIND SETS NEEDED FOR STUDYING
CROSS - CULTURAL SKILLS
• Don’t expect mathematical accuracy. In the study of
cultures 1+2 = 5. Understanding cultures is an
art, not an exact science.
• Accept ambiguity, inconsistency, and mystery.
• Seek understanding, not proof of right or
wrong, and not judgment of good or bad.
• The goal of learning cross cultural skills is to
facilitate co-existence and collaboration.
• Have fun. Enjoy the journey. Laugh while learning.

The individual’s own style may
differ from the culture’s.
