GABRIELA'S CULTURAL CHALLENGE
Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil and was
transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realised that managing
her new team would be a challenge.
(56) _____________
After weeks of frustration, Gabriela emailed her Swedish manager about the issues she was facing
with her team. Her manager simply asked her if she felt her team was still performing, and what she thought
would help her better collaborate with her team members. Gabriela found her manager vague and didn't feel
as if he was managing the situation satisfactorily.
(57) _____________
Dutch social psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how
power is distributed and how hierarchy is perceived in different cultures. In her previous work environment,
Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power and authority are respected and everyone
has their rightful place.

(58) _____________

initiative to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
(59) _____________
They realised that Gabriela was taking it personally when they tried to challenge or make changes to
her decisions, and were able to explain that it was how they'd always worked.
(60) _____________
(Adapted from learnenglish.britishcouncil.org)
PARAGRAPHS
A. In such cultures, managers are expected to make important decisions and employees rarely question them.
However, her Swedish team preferred a system in which employees contribute ideas freely and expect a
more equal relationship with their leaders.
B. With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other's behaviour, Gabriela and her
team were able to adapt their way of working successfully.
C. Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn't feel respected as a leader. Her team frequently questioned her
ideas during meetings and often completed tasks differently from the way she had instructed them.
D. Gabriela considered asking to return to Brazil because she believed her Swedish colleagues disliked
foreign managers and were unwilling to cooperate with her leadership.
E. Pleased to be invited to share their opinions, the team explained that they preferred greater independence
and creative freedom in their work rather than receiving detailed instructions.
F. What Gabriela was experiencing was a cultural clash in expectations. In Brazil, she had been used to a
more hierarchical management style, while her Swedish colleagues were more comfortable with a flatter and
more democratic structure.

with the tough competition from abroad. The Colombians, for instance, have (64) _____________ the Dutch
