Multicultural and multinational teams have become an important strategic and structural element of organizational work in our globalized world today. These teams are demonstrating their importance from the factory floors to the boardrooms of contemporary organizations. The emergence of multicultural teams is evident across a variety of organizations in the private, public, and civil society sectors. These developments have led to an increasing interest in the theory and practice of multicultural teams. Management educational and training programs are giving increasing attention to these developments. At the same time, there is emerging interest in research about and study of multicultural teams. This book emerged from our teaching, research, and consulting with multic- tural and diverse teams in multiple sectors over the last several years. In particular, we have developed and refined our ideas about the concepts in this book from teaching an advanced course called Effective Multicultural Teams in the Graduate Program at the School for International Training (SIT) in Vermont. We have learned from the rich background of students who are from, and have worked in, six con- nents, and who are, or plan to be, working in the public, educational, not-for-profit, and for-profit sectors. Additionally, we have engaged with a variety of teams through our consulting and training, providing consultation to teams in a variety of sectors and continents as they struggled to become more effective.

"A person who works in a multicultural team becomes a witness and a leader...It can be really hard work, and it is important to walk into a team with a humble attitude of serving God and each other."Multicultural teams are becoming more common both in the business world and the Christian world. We increasingly work with people from other cultures--and despite our best intentions, we find this can be difficult and uncomfortable. We can disagree over how decisions are made, what the leader should do, how the team should work...and an unexpected explosion can destroy our team.As challenging as they may be, as Christians we are compelled to work well within multicultural teams. An effective multicultural team can bear witness to the fact that Jesus has the power to overcome cultural differences and national boundaries. When we form such a team, we take a deliberate step towards God's goal of bringing together a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people and language. What does this look like? How do Bible-based multicultural teams work in practice? This book aims to look at the most common issues that face multicultural teams, and help equip team members and leaders to address them, including: dealing with team changes, choosing team members, preparing one's team, communication styles, effective team meetings and conflict resolution.

As a result of the increasing globalization more and more organizations are operating internationally. Such multinational companies often rely on successful teamwork to reach goals and to compete on the fast-paced global market. Indeed, teamwork plays an important role and can lead to faster results. Teams, whose members come from different nations and backgrounds place special demands on operations, diversity clearly adds complexity and a longer learning curve for establishing effective processes. In the multicultural team, the role of emotions has gained increasing interest in the last years; practitioners report that where people work together, emotions are not far to seek. An awareness of emotions seems to be especially important as cultural differences in emotion processing and diversity among members may cause negative emotion and lead to conflict and misunderstandings what may have serious consequences reducing performance. The aim of this book is to identify challenges for multinational teams focusing on emotions within the team, and to propose emotional intelligence as an approach to multicultural team effectiveness.

Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: As more and more people immigrate and organizations globalize lead to the fact that people with different cultural roots have to collaborate with one another and to work together in a local workplace. Furthermore, competitive challenges and the importance of flexibility and adjustment on the part of companies there can be witnessed in a great expansion of work teams. Therefore, a commonplace practice concerning the culturally diverse composition of work groups can be recognized as is the case in organizations like Unilever, ABB, the Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation, IBM and Reckitt Benckiser, only to mention a few. Organizations have to develop effective multicultural teams, which means that organizations have to think more clearly about cross-cultural issues and more fully understand and value the benefits of cultural diversity in teams. Furthermore due to the continued growth of culturally diverse work teams, the understanding the effect cultural diversity has on team processes is both appropriate and pressing. This fact is very important as the team effectiveness depends on the processes. Due to being involved in such a multicultural working environment by having different student jobs at an internationally operating company called Reckitt Benckiser, practical insight was gained into the trend multicultural teams . This insight and the growing trend of using multicultural teams in today s organizations make it interesting to deepen the phenomenon within the dissertation. The author is interested in gaining knowledge of which effects cultural diversity has on team processes. Academic objectives of dissertation: This study follows Earley & Gardner s and Watson s perception of multicultural teams that implies that those teams consist of two or more members that have different nationalities and therefore different cultural backgrounds. This dissertation aims to provide a deeper understanding of the effects cultural diversity has on team processes and which consequences this can have on team effectiveness. The aim of the present study is to investigate the main negative and positive effects cultural diversity has on team processes. Existing researcher s views about this issue are shown and confronted. The main objective of this study is to investigate three group processes task conflict, cohesion and trust. Hypothesis will be developed concerning these three issues in order to test them in practice. [...]

Background: Multicultural teams provide diverse skill sets, and members' different experiences could through effective leadership be leveraged to improve organizational performance, especially in the agile organization. Effective multicultural team leadership can drive the goals of agile organizations and support their realization. The problem is organizational leaders have a critical knowledge gap on how the competencies and skills of managers can be utilized to improve the effectiveness of multicultural teams.Methodology: This integrative literature review focused on the study of current research findings on managers' experiences in leading multicultural teams within agile organizations. This study is framed by two key concepts of agile leadership models and leadership emergence in multicultural teams.Findings: This integrative literature review provides in-depth knowledge to formulate new knowledge and recommendations for further research that can be applied to measure the leadership effectiveness of multicultural teams in agile organizations. Managers and leaders of multicultural teams need to have a high intercultural competence to successfully integrate employees with diverse cultural backgrounds in their teams and also to facilitate fruitful communication and knowledge sharing among them using agile management tools.Originality: This integrative literature review can be utilized by future researchers as foundational material in studies to extend theoretical foundations and to extend the results of prior related studies. It has helped to highlight managerial and theoretical implications and to inform recommendations for future research that could contribute to improving the leadership of multicultural teams and, thus, their performance within agile organizations.
