Dos and don'ts of doing business in New Zealand
Do be polite and reserved, yet willing to develop personal relationships with colleagues.
Do get involved in 'team-building' exercises; these are taken quite seriously in New Zealand.
Don't try to prove your credentials by talking about them – rather, show your worth to employers and associates, by getting on with it and working hard.
Don't make unfavourable comparisons between New Zealand and its neighbour, Australia – this is a sore point for many Kiwis.
