I’m Don Southerton, and for over two decades, I’ve advised executives, teams, and organizations navigating the complexities of Korean global business.
With the release of my newest book, Korean Business: Challenges and Solutions – 25 Workplace Hints for 2025, I’ll be sharing a special 7-part Mini-Series.
Each post will highlight a practical, real-world “hint” to help leaders and teams succeed in Korea-facing business—from decision-making and hierarchy to trust-building and cultural nuances.
Follow along in the coming days for exclusive insights from my book.
Hint #1 – Why Hierarchy Matters More Than You Think
In Korean business, hierarchy shapes decision-making.
Decisions often cascade from the top down, and knowing who holds real authority is critical.
If you bypass rank, even unintentionally, you risk stalling a project—or losing credibility.
Successful executives frame ideas in ways that align with senior leadership first.
This isn’t about formality—it’s about understanding how respect and authority drive business outcomes.
