While it was Muhammad Ali who first used the phrase “different strokes for different folks” when referring to his fighting style, it was Sly and the Family Stone who embodied how we think of it today. While they weren’t the first group to feature both black and white musicians, or male and female musicians, or be a vocal group, or be a rock band, or have a horn section and gospel backing vocals, they were the first to do ALL of these things at the same time. And their 1968 #1 hit Everyday People was a plea for us all to recognize and accept each other’s differences.

As business becomes increasingly global, acknowledging and embracing cultural relativity leads to stronger teams and better performance, says Bunyamin Cankirli. Today, he’s a Sr. Solutions Architect with Concentrix, a global BPO. In his decade with Concentrix, he’s experienced so many different folks and learned how to use different strokes of communication to drive team success.

We discuss: • Cultural Biases • High- and Low-Context communications • Teamwork and Organizational Goals • Cultural Awareness and Leadership • Lessons from Sports and Coaching • Starting with Customer Experience • Creating a Winning Culture
