Significant efforts focus on hiring the best technically qualified people, many of whom become members of global teams. It is often assumed that technical expertise is all that matters. Yet when we see equally qualified employees whose contributions on teams vary widely, we need to look at what other factors determine performance on teams.

This book describes the journey that team leaders and consultants take when they support high performance global teams. The content addresses organizational practices as well as team member cultural values and how these impact (negatively or positively) the success of teams.
