US Business Culture: "They never take the initiative!"
"They don’t take any initiative!” That’s something I’ve heard Danish bosses say about their US employees.
In Denmark, good employees finish their tasks and then look for more ways to help the company.
But US workers at big companies can’t do this for legal reasons. If an employee takes the initiative, goes outside her area of expertise, and makes a mistake, the company might get sued.
So keep in mind, US employees might need your “permission” to take the initiative and try something new.
