Course Description
Effective multicultural teams are geared toward performance and progress to reach a unified goal. This can’t be accomplished if the team isn’t united. Team cohesion is required for groups to endure and maintain unity as they work toward accomplishing a set of objectives. But successfully maintaining cohesion can be difficult. Bias and stereotyping often prevent team cohesion and challenge leaders of multicultural teams. Poor communication can also be a roadblock to leading diverse teams. So, how can leaders overcome these struggles and successfully unite their teams? By considering potential problems and making a plan to address them.
In this course on Considerations for Leaders and Managers of Multicultural Teams, you will gain expertise in navigating barriers to team cohesion and adopting a diverse workplace communication style. You’ll also learn about different virtual communication skills and avoiding bias and stereotyping. This course also discusses setting expectations and assessing workplace performance in a diverse environment.
