Stereotyping refers to making assumptions about a particular group of people based on their cultural or national origin. While it may be true that many Indian managers prefer to be told what to do by their superiors, it is important to avoid stereotyping all local managers as lacking initiative. This could lead to misunderstandings and resentment. Instead, the new manager should approach each subordinate individually and try to understand their unique work styles and motivations.
