Managing Globally, Effectively
Do you need to manage international teams?
As organisations expand to new countries, leaders & managers may have direct reports in different countries. This can bring many challenges! We offer offer workshops to build the capability of Managers to manage international teams for an effective global business.
Challenges to be aware of:
- Language barriers (comprehension, different use of some words)
- Different expectations of how the work should be done (attitudes to deadlines, for example)
- Different expectations of leadership (how closely people expect to be managed, when they need to check progress) and how decisions are made
- Timezone challenges
- Differences in terms and conditions of employment such as working hours (do you routinely work on Saturdays?) or time off (paid or unpaid?)
- Public holiday clashes (have you ever tried to progress a multi-country project in Europe in May? Or in August…?!)
