info_outlineIn this episode, we explore the nuances of giving and receiving feedback across cultures and the impact it has on global teams and GTM (Go-to-Market) strategies. Our guest shares insights from personal experiences working in Brazil, Europe, and beyond, highlighting how different regions handle feedback—from the direct and candid style of Germany and France to the more measured, empathetic approach in Brazil. The conversation delves into finding a balance that respects diverse cultural norms while fostering honesty and efficiency in the workplace.
Takeaways:
- Career transitions can fuel innovative perspectives: Starting in journalism provides valuable storytelling and analytical skills that can enhance marketing strategies.
- Asymmetrical returns in marketing: Pursuing opportunities where potential returns far exceed the risks involved.
- Examples of asymmetrical strategies: Performance marketing through Google Ads and LinkedIn, where risks are limited to time or budget, but returns can be substantial.
- Redefining conventional marketing practices: Trade fairs and other high-risk, low-reward channels may not be the best investments for companies looking to grow.
- Cultural Perceptions of Feedback: The Brazilian way of providing feedback often focuses on cushioning critiques, contrasting with the blunt delivery common in European cultures.
- Challenges in Multicultural Work Environments: Managing feedback in global companies requires a nuanced approach to ensure that cultural expectations are met while maintaining trust and transparency.
- Navigating Cultural Differences: While European teams might perceive Brazilian feedback as indirect or lacking honesty, Brazilians may find European feedback too harsh.
- Balancing Respect and Clarity: Striking a “sweet spot” is essential to make sure all team members feel their cultural background is respected without sacrificing performance.
- Feedback and Trust: Different perceptions of feedback can lead to misunderstandings—e.g., teams feeling feedback is insincere or slow when given in a more indirect style.

“When you ignore the cultural aspects underneath a global GTM strategy, it can blow up in your face very easily.” - Gabriel Falcione
