Working for a matrix international organisation, with its ensuing diverse global teams, based in a variety of geographic locations, is a fact of life for most leaders and managers today. These teams may be permanent, or they may come together temporarily to deliver a specific project. The challenges of making decisions, setting goals, communicating, building trust, and managing the team are far harder when you are separated by time, language, culture, and priorities.

Global Teams will enable leaders, teams, and organizations to deal with the challenges they face:

How can you ensure that your global team delivers results?

How do I trade off our local goals and priorities versus the global priorities?

How do I find out what is really going on and how it will affect me?

Can I trust top management to support my agenda and me personally?

How can I lead people who I do not see and are not like me?

Based on original research with some of the world's leading companies, Global Teams is the definitive, practical guide on making the sharp end of globalization work for you and your organization.

"In this book, Jo Owen provides not only a thorough understanding of what makes a "global" organization effective, but also ideas and reflections on how to go about it, in a way that is neither simplistic nor dogmatic. Great read."

"A perk of my job is that I get paid to read and review books. Nothing thrills me more than to know that one of my favourite management authors, Mr. Jo Owen, has another book published.

I enjoy reading his perspectives on the various aspects of management as he provides insights that can be easily digested by anybody yet has the necessary depth to help you with the skills needed in today's complex and rapidly changing business environment.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to improve their leadership skills and effectiveness in a globalized world."
