Seven attended the in-person Stammtisch that was held at Plutzer Bräu, Schrankgasse 2, 1070 Vienna. The topic of discussion was “ Empathy in Multicultural Environment”. Empathy is being able to put oneself in the other person’s shoes and understand his / her emotional state. For a project manager who needs to communicate and motivate the project team being empathetic is most critical in accomplishing this. Understanding the nuances of the different cultures is necessary to be empathetic. We shared experiences from operating in different cultural environment and how the cultural differences influenced the operating model. At the Light Up 360 event last month one of the presenters summarised techniques and tools that can be employed to help being empathetic.   Next Stammtisch will be held on Tuesday 17th November 2020 at a location to be confirmed starting at 19:30. The topic of discussion is “ Maturity Level”.
