SACC Dallas is happy to invite You all to a fun and informative evening with Cultural Coach Christina Robinovitz who will guide us through A look at Swedes’ and Americans’ different values & belief systems and how these can be seen in the workplace.
”LAGOM,” a short but important word for most Swedes. Legend has it that the Vikings, when they returned from their travels (i.e.raids!), held meetings to celebrate. They would pass around cups of mead (a type of beer) but had to be careful not to drink too much-there had to be enough for everyone. In Swedish, ”laget om” (around the team), i.e. ”lagom.” Today lagom describes much of the Swedish belief system. A belief in equality, consensus and an avoidance of extremes. Come and explore how this compares to the American belief that ”more is better.
