    No one likes foreigners who are arrogant about their own culture. Customers are turned off by mono-cultural salespeople.【R3】______Foreigners sense mono-cultural arrogance at once and set up their own cultural barriers, effectively blocking any attempt by the mono-cultural person to motivate them.

    For 20 odd years, I have run an executive-search firm from Brussels. When clients ask us to find the right person for a new pan-European sales or management position, I start by asking them to specify the qualifications their ideal candidate would have.【R5】______It sometimes takes me hours to persuade clients that the linguistic abilities they see as crucial are not enough. But after some discussion, we usually wind up specifying something like "the new manager must be accepted throughout Europe.【R6】______If possible, he or she should also be able to communicated in more than one of the major European languages."
    Of course, it is far more difficult to determine candidates’ multiculturalism than it is to check their languages skills.【R7】______To seek out this crucial quality, I ask a lot of questions about candidates’ early childhood, looking for evidence of contact with diverse cultures. And I probe for arrogance about their background and environment.
    I don’t think for a moment that a proven American salesperson can be sent to Great Britain and be expected to sell there, since it is the same language.【R8】______The ones who succeed are multicultural people with the rare ability to gain acceptance from British customer.
