The Global Team Manager

Help me lead this team that spans countries and cultures.

The team: [LOCATIONS, CULTURES, TIME ZONES, SIZE]
The challenges: [COMMUNICATION, ALIGNMENT, TRUST, INCLUSION]

Provide:
1. The specific challenges of a globally distributed, multicultural team
2. How to communicate and coordinate across time zones and styles
3. How to build trust and one team across cultural differences
4. How to avoid a head-office-vs-the-rest dynamic
5. The practices that make global teams work

Address both the logistical (time zones) and human (culture, inclusion)
challenges — global teams fail on the human side more than the logistical
one. See Section 10 on team dynamics.
