Intersecting Cultures in Workplace Dynamics:Kumiko Woodwork and Krishna’s Raas Leela
Indian and Japanese business collaboration has increased in recent times. There’s a growing exchange of ideas, practices, and values between the two cultures, contributing to a richer tapestry of influences in work practices.
This lecture explores the Japanese Kumiko woodwork, which emphasizes precision, teamwork and collaboration, and the patterns of individual freedom and fair leadership expressed through the visual storytelling of Krishna’s Raas Leela and other stories from Indian mythology. Drawing parallels to workplace culture, the speaker will investigate how these patterns reflect cultural values, offering insights into collaboration, creativity, and governance dynamics in everyday professional settings.
A deeper understanding of the fault lines to avoid, understanding common themes should provide for high performance teams built on mutual understanding.
