The 3 Pitfalls of Managing International Teams By Moriah Scoble - #SEJSummit 2015 Silicon Valley

Editor's Notes

  1. Working in Silicon Valley Best talent from around world Creating better products And better marketing
  2. DO I NEED THE 3 TAKEAWAYS SLIDE HERE?
  3. The most important thing I learned when I was running a nonprofit in the music industry was how to negotiate and that meant I had to adapt to the people I was negotiating with. When I met Billy Gibbons, for example…
  4. Transition: As good as I got communicating with musicians in L.A., I had to go back to the drawing board when I moved up here. And I knew my communication style wasn’t working because I kept hitting roadblocks. One of the first teams that let me know my communication style wasn’t working were a group of developers from Ukraine. Kept creating projects that weren’t getting done. What is going on here? Ukraine: Do business with people they know
  5. Transition: And, establishing a relationship is important in a lot of cultures, so it’s a good tool to have. Sometimes it’s something a bit less obvious, though. Like my first interaction with a graphic designer from Russia… What’s going on here? Russia: Patience Extra tip: Avoid smiling unnecessarily.
  6. First: read slide Sitting down and taking time = patience Transition: It would have been much better from the beginning if we’d just mirrored her.
  7. Slide first Transition: Some cultures don’t make it easy, though. And sometimes mirroring them wouldn’t be helpful.
  8. Projects not started What’s going on here? - Don’t do what someone says unless they are their boss: Hierarchy Projects not getting done What’s going on here? - Don’t act quickly: take time to make decisions Projects not getting done the way they were instructed What’s going on here? - “Do you understand”: avoid losing face at all costs
  9. Transition: It’s easy to create boundaries when we’re from different places, so you need to play an active role in avoiding them. Slide Common shared goals: That the company succeeds That you look like rockstars And that’s exactly why it’s important to work on your communication skills with international teams.
