Managing International Teams
Price on request. € plus VAT
It is important to deal with the topic of “Managing international teams” because in a globalized or glocalized economy, collaboration in multicultural teams is becoming increasingly common. The following reasons make this clear:
- Cultural differences often lead to misunderstandings and conflicts in international teams if you are not sensitized.
- Different communication styles, values, working methods, etc. can significantly impair team effectiveness and productivity.
- Intercultural competence is crucial for building trust, avoiding friction and ultimately ensuring the success of international project teams.
- Without mutual understanding, collaboration suffers.
- Managers in multicultural teams need specific skills in intercultural management in order to lead and motivate teams effectively and exploit synergies.
- Expectations of managers differ culturally.
- Virtual teams spread across continents pose additional challenges for intercultural communication and team building.
- Common processes and rules are essential.
- Companies can avoid misunderstandings, frictional losses and consequential costs in international teams through targeted intercultural training.
