Time is one of the special resources of human existence. The way that time is perceived and valued by individuals and cultures is different and the quality of the efficient use of this resource defines not only individuals but also even civilizations or cultures. The different ways of time perception and its influence on people and their economic activity have been studied by different researchers Hofstede, Hall, Tompenaars, Meyer. In international relations in general, and in managerial activity in particular, the problem of the correct and efficient use of time is not only a problem of culture or education, punctuality, work schedule, tempo and deadlines, willingness to wait, approaches to face-to-face interactions, reactions to time pressure are guided by cultural perceptions of individuals. This article describes the mechanism of establishing the “temporal profile” of the individual within a multicultural team or group: monochromic vs polychromic; synchronous vs sequential; long-time vs short-time orientation; past, present or future orientation and how to choose the best strategies in order to synergize differences.
