Imagine that you are leading of a multicultural team with members located in the United States, Germany, India and China. You have noticed that the cultural differences are significant and negatively impacting the work of the team. You seem to have multiple teams based on location rather than one united team.

What can you do as a leader to create a cohesive cross-cultural team? Provide two ideas from todays reading; discuss both the potential benefits and drawbacks to your ideas.

Also, reflect on your Cultural Intelligence self-assessment results, If your average score was 4.0 or higher, how could you use your strengths in cultural intelligence to benefit this team? If your average score was below a 4.0, what could you do to increase your cultural intelligence?
