Cultural Model Lewis

What is the lewis model?

Created by Richard Lewis, it shows us the cultural differences regarding time management. He divides cultures into three categories: linear active, Multi-active and Reactive.

* linear active: Those who plan, program, organize, pursue chains of action, do things one by one. 

* Multi-active: Those happy, talkative people who do many things at once, planning their priorities not taking into account a time schedule, but rather a relative emotion or the importance that each appointment can bring. 

* Reactive:   those cultures that prioritize courtesy and respect, listening calmly and calmly to their interlocutors and reacting cautiously to the proposals of the other party.

What type does Morocco belong to?

Morocco is part of Multi-Active cultures. Moroccans are people who aren't interested in following a plan, they live one day at a time and prioritize what is really important and not a schedule.

Here are some more characteristics of Multi-Active cultures:

* Multi-active people are often less interested in schedules or punctuality. They are more likely to observe them if a linear-active partner insists. They consider reality to be more important than man-made appointments.

* Multi-active people don't like to leave conversations unfinished. For them, completing a human transaction is the best way they can invest their time.

* Multi-active people think they can be more productive in their own way.

* Multi-Active people have no problem with doing multiple tasks at the same time
