Treating international teams as homogenous limits performance.
You are a senior team that is…
Managing a cross-cultural, post-Covid, distributed or hybrid team.
Moving into new international markets.
Attempting via HQ to implement a regional initiative with no clear shared outcome, or vice versa.
A range of expats not landing in the local team.
What you might be seeing in the team…
Things are getting ‘lost in translation’.
Cultural misunderstandings around topics like time, planning, negotiation and feedback lead to constant quiet clashes.
Cultural assumptions being made which reduce motivation and success.
A focus on ‘difficult difference’ rather than what can be gained from it.
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
Marcel Proust
