Cross-cultural collaboration, motivation and team performance: Do they go hand in hand?

Many of us work in cross-cultural teams, but do we ever stop and think about:

  • What is important to each person in our team?
  • Do we have cultural clashes that affect happiness and effectiveness?
  • What else affects team performance? – And how do I improve and measure it?

  • Working in culturally diverse teams
