There are many cultural, personality, and work style differences between Canos and Filipinos. Filipinos should learn as much as possible about Cano expectations and adapt or manage the perceptions that might lead to misunderstandings. (Good Cano bosses will also learn as much as possible and adapt, but not all of them.)
