Student Answer/Post:
I believe that CEO’s today consider virtual and global teams to
be the most difficult management task is because of a number of
reasons. One, in particular, is cultural relativism. Countries
have different moral and ethical beliefs that can make reaching
someone from a different culture very difficult. Utilizing the
country comparison chart, I noticed that the United States
tremendously when considering long term orientation. Germany
is considered a pragmatic country, which deals with situations
sensibly and realistically ("Country Comparison - Hofstede
Insights", 2019). While the United States is a normative culture
that tends to follow time-honored traditions. As CEO this can be
trying when your company is used to doing things a certain way
and the person you’re leading disagrees because it doesn’t seem
practical to them.
To ensure a strong and effective team, trust must be the number
one concern of everyone within. An additional aspect of cultural
relativism that may decrease the trust and communication of a
global team is the leaders' ability to orient themselves with the
cultures across their global teams. A great leader must know

3. how to verbally and nonverbally communicate to where
individuals from a different culture background receive the
message as attended. This is particularly important when teams
meet and communicate via telephone conference calls.
According to Michelle LaBaron, the United States and Canada
tend to analyze nonverbal communication less than an
individual from Japan or Columbia who finds nonverbal to be a
key within communication (LeBaron, 2019). A CEO who’s not
aware of this can lose the trust of those within his organization.
Non-verbal communication is 90 percent of communication and
is vital during the day-to-day conversation. If a CEO is
demanding reform within the company and those of different
cultural backgrounds are displaying transgressions through their
nonverbals, reform may not go as planned. Buy-in and the trust
of those individuals are key, especially when they are
geographically separated.

Student Answer/Post:
Trust:
Managers can find it is hard to build trust early on when a team
is put together. Especially if you have a diverse group of
workers that have not worked together or with you before. It
can be exponentially harder if you are leading these teams
virtually instead of in person. Managers will need to use both
high-context and low-context communication to ensure that the
teams understand what is expected of them and build that trust.
By being direct and clear, through low-context communication,
you say “what you mean, and mean what you say," leaving little
to be "read in" to the explicit message (LeBaron,
Communication Tools for Understanding Cultural Differences,

4. 2003).
Communication:
This can be difficult for managers based on multiple factors,
especially with global and virtual teams. Some of these factors
can be in cultural way of doing things, different languages,
body language or non-verbal communications and face-to-face
vs online are a few (LeBaron, 2003). Your Cultural Intelligence
will play heavily into being able to perceive and understand
how to properly communicate with other cultures. Language is a
big hurdle to overcome. Different languages have different
meanings for similar words, and this confusion could lead to
conflict between team members. For example, talking with
Italians versus Americans is a big difference in that Italians like
to be in close when they talk with others where Americans
prefer their “personal space” and will keep a good distance
when talking to you. With today’s technology, more and more
meetings and discussions are being held online, via instant
messenger, or emails instead of face-to-face which could lead to
misinterpretation of what is being presented.
