High-Context vs. Low-Context Communication 🗣

Cultural communication styles that affect remote team interactions. High-context relies on implied meaning, non-verbal cues, and shared understanding, while low-context is direct and explicit. Remote teams benefit from understanding these differences to avoid miscommunication, especially in text-based interactions where high-context cues are lost. Training and awareness help teams adapt communication styles appropriately.
