Multicultural teams are different. In addition to culture the team needs to consider: the purpose for its existence, the influence of personality differences, the impact of cultural and professional identities, the importance of emotional intelligence, and the vital role of adequate support systems. Team leaders need updated global competencies which they may not have learned in business school. Click Here to link to article in “The Gateway, Developing organizational excellence across Asia”
