and are wary of authority and of those who consider themselves: better than others.”
Their conversations are direct and literal, and they expect the same in return. When
you conduct business in Australia , avoid pretentious titles and overblown
presentations ( which may make you a subject for ridicule). Australians value a
straightforward, modest approach. Downplay your knowledge and expertise, and let
your accomplishments speak for themselves. Emphasis is on ability, not on rank. What
