You have to provide a reason for that culture to acheive in a different direction. Otherwise, all you're going to have is conflict. Acheivement cultures pay no attention to the status of the person making the requests, there is no respect for "social lock-in". And vice versa.

But how do you measure achievement?
It seems that material possessions are the indicator of success in the US; or is that unfair?
I think in Europe we see many ways to achieve. It isn't just about winning or losing.
