5 mins confidence: 
open Explanation: The usual spelling, by the way, is "högt i tak." The meaning of the phrase is that there is an openness to new ideas and nothing (well, almost nothing) is taboo; you can feel free to propose new ideas or ways of doing things. I think "open" is the best way to *briefly* express this in English; I find it difficult to concisely express the concept in English. |

open-minded Explanation: It means that in the organisation there is room for different opinions, so "open-minded atmosphere" fits. Perhaps also "relaxed". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2007-05-06 15:46:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I see what I wrote is similar to Tim's explanation. |
