When it comes to working across cultures, performance is shaped by more than capability or effort. It depends on how well people adapt to different expectations, communication styles, and decision-making norms, often simultaneously. When you spend energy interpreting context and managing uncertainty, less capacity remains for collaboration, creativity, and execution.What appears as slowing momentum is rarely a capability issue. Often, it reflects the quiet friction of working without shared clarity. Organisations that strengthen the psychological conditions behind cross-cultural work enable their people to perform with greater focus and consistency. Peak performance across cultures is not driven by pressure, but by creating the right conditions for good work to happen.
