What will be an ideal response?

• Clearly define the team charter, outlining the scope of the project, the expected
deliverables and the timeline
• Overcome communication barriers by investing in language and cross-cultural
training

• Adopt data-driven decisions to avoid decision biases like premature closure
• Develop alternatives to enrich the debate (e.g., dialectical thinking and devil's
advocates)
• Rotate meeting locations to accommodate members' needs
• Cultivate a culture of trust so members can feel free to rely on one another
• Schedule face-to-face meetings to build a solid foundation and perform periodic
team maintenance
• Rotate team leadership to give members opportunities to develop those skills
• Link rewards to team performance to ensure appropriate cooperation
• Build social capital in the organization by helping managers build social networks
outside their units
• Rotate personnel to different countries so they can understand members' situations and cultures
