International teams are rapidly becoming the central operating mode
for global enterprises. They are often agile and perceptive, know
local markets better than HQ does, lead innovation and exploratory
ventures, and are more culturally aware than their parent company.
But how much autonomy should they be allowed? How can we get things
done with colleagues who have different worldviews? How can we
strike a balance between core values and the necessary diversity -
and is diversity within the team a strength or a hindrance? What is
the role of the team leader in all of this? How do you establish
team trust? How important is team humor? Who decides the team's
ethics? What misunderstandings can arise in a virtual team, lacking
face-to-face contact? In answering these and other questions,
Richard D. Lewis draws on 30 years experience mediating with
hundreds of international teams in two dozen countries. Generously
illustrated with explanatory diagrams, When Teams Collide analyses
profiles of 24 different nationalities and suggests how they should
be led for best results. Commenting on vital considerations of
leadership, team trust, ethics and humor, the author also evaluates
the relationship between teams and HQ. Applying the cultural
concepts in the bestselling When Cultures Collide specifically to
team leadership, this is a wide-ranging and compelling account of
how to handle what is a difficult and sensitive task.
