Technology such as email, voice and video conferencing was supposed to make global teams work together easily and effectively.  And they have certainly save the travel budget!  But what we have found is that if it is difficult to effectively lead or work in a team that sits in the same office, it is hundreds of times more difficult to be part of a team that hardly ever sees each other and which has people working very anti-social hours just to be able to reach each other by phone.

Such teams are becoming increasingly common and we put bespoke programs together that help participants to:

• recognise the impact of differing cultural mindsets on leadership, planning and conflict resolution
• plan projects that take account of time differences and extended turnaround times
• develop meetings management techniques that fully engage ALL attendees
• respect and understand different approaches to disagreement and responsibility
• deal with conflict and non-delivery constructively
