To succeed at globalization, businesses need efficient teams operating at their peak worldwide. Global teams struggle with geography, time differences, and cultural and linguistic barriers. Their companies often must reconcile these teams’ divergent worldwide and local or national goals. Leadership expert Jo Owen explains that while senior executives tend to see global goals as paramount, team members also face local and national priorities. Owen’s fascinating and quite specific manual, while somewhat repetitive, includes a wealth of relevant details. getAbstract recommends his useful handbook to senior managers and global team leaders.
