Abstract

Global teams today make an increasing number of decisions in multinational organizations, addressing challenges broad in scope and critical to performance. An additional role of global teams is discussed here—providing ideal training for future global leaders. After reviewing the knowledge and skills global leaders need, the article describes three group processes for global team effectiveness: mapping, bridging, and Integrating. The effective global team as a rich context for developing global leadership knowledge and skills is then explored. Specific ways in which human resource managers can support global teams to maximize both team performance and global leadership development are identified.
