How to manage the team?

As I told you I know the hard work coming ahead, I try to learn every day about managing a multicultural team. I picked up some information and I made a synthesis.

What do you think about it?

I will manage the "I'm Pigeon-toed" team:

By taking time to focus on team-building early in the life of the team:Conducting an initial team-building session can produce continuing benefits, including the ability to form healthy working relationships, make and execute decisions, handle conflict, enjoy and generate truly innovative solutions.

By clarifying team expectations and norms at the outset:Effective multicultural teams are especially mindful of clarifying the team’s purpose, figuring out ways of working together, determining available resources, and understanding their deliverables early on.

By making the extra effort to understand cultural complexities: develop a global mindset that helps them know how to best involve people from different cultures.

By handling the special challenge of managing conflict and creativity:Conflict is perceived, valued, and addressed in different ways in different cultures.
