Packed with practical pointers and examples, this indispensable, straight-talking guide helps professionals conduct productive interviews while building strong working relationships with culturally and linguistically diverse clients.

Strategies for avoiding common cross-cultural misunderstandings and producing fair, accurate reports are presented.
