In this era of global business and hybrid work, managers must find ways to unify teams that are geographically and culturally separated.

Harvard Business School professor Tsedal Neeley explains how one real-life manager, who she profiled in a business case, approached the challenge of leading a hugely diverse, underperforming group back to success.

“When you have this level of diversity, this many nationalities represented in a group, you have to have policies to make people effective,” Neeley tells Cold Call host Brian Kenny.

Key topics include: leadership, managing people, cross-cultural management, cultural awareness hybrid work, global teams, managing others, globalization, and motivation.
