With the increasing number of Indo-Chinese collaborations in the technology space, it is important for us to identify new paradigms to coach cross-cultural teams. From a simple 'NiHao' to a more complex 'Chop-Sticks', everything comes our way when we coach these teams. It is important for us coaches, to be sensitive to the cultural needs of these teams and re-visit our coaching strategies accordingly. It's true that every team has a flavour and our strategies as coaches are almost always situational. However in this particular talk, I would like to highlight few salient cultural differences which we could harness positively for the team's benefit. I would also like to discuss few tools and practices, which the coaches could adopt while they coach their Chinese counter-parts.
