Approach
When teams with different cultures, habits, or priorities come together, it’s essential to start by aligning on a shared purpose and ensuring everyone understands their roles and goals. Building trust and fostering strong relationships within the team helps bridge differences, creating a foundation for effective collaboration. Staying connected to external stakeholders ensures the team’s efforts are relevant and valuable. By regularly reflecting on progress and embracing a learning mindset, the team can transform misunderstandings and frustrations into opportunities for growth, turning diversity into a strength and creating a culture where everyone thrives together.
