Response to Sara Ross Ch 8 and 19

Sara is right about being careful using stereotypes. I know what it is since I work in multicultural environment. Sometimes people carelessly can make a comment about your skills or abilities mentioning your cultural background. This sounds very insulting. So, when communicating with co-workers from other cultures, I always avoid mentioning about their backgrounds. I try to sound neutral. I remember this from my International Management course. My instructor was from Argentina. He shared his experience managing multicultural teams. It is easy to ruin reputation with stereotypes but it is hard to rebuild trust again.
