Multicultural team Performance

High performance, effective teams have a strong sense of purpose. Cultural diversity does affect team functioning and outcomes: cultural diversity may lead to process losses when it comes to increased conflictual situations and low integration of culturally distant team members. Two major challenges face multicultural teams and their leaders:

• Cultural differences in the Decision-Making Process

• Cultural differences in the Empowerment of local staff

Growing cross-cultural awareness and strategies can mitigate such risks and challenges.
