Adaptability to avoid conflict

Let’s go deeper then: how committed are you if some or any of a client’s traditions go against your religious beliefs, for example.

I guess what I’m trying to ask here is: is there ever a line we won’t cross in your opinion/experience?

I think that yes, there is a limit depending on your belief system and background. And a way to resolve this, as we are Project Managers with people and communication skills, is to communicate effectively while utilising your emotional intelligence so you’re not disrespecting someone else’s culture while getting your reasons across.

At the end of the day, if the client is so difficult and incapable of understanding that there are other cultures and beliefs out there, is it going to be a project we should and need to be part of? The answer is probably no.
