Many Cultures, One Team

Do you lead, are a member of, consult with, or support global teams? If yes, read this book to improve employee engagement, productivity, and human process interactions (HPIs) on your team. This book will challenge team leaders and team members to reflect on their cultural assumptions – to improve their cultural metacognition. The book starts with the impact on the team of various organizational practices, and continues through the team lifecycle (the team charter, team meetings, celebration of the team's accomplishments) with a specific focus on the impact of culturally driven attitudes, beliefs and behaviors.The case stories, examples, and strategy suggestions are the result of collective experiences over the past 25 years. These are real and most of the stories are examples of teams that have stumbled or those who did not meet their deliverables on time or at/under budget.
