Working with Diverse Teams

In episode 10, we are joined by a guest, Adrian Malatesta, Director of Global People Operations at Remlity to discuss how to cultivate, celebrate and work successfully on teams that are diverse.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

1. There is a learning curve when you first start working on diverse teams.  
2. It’s important to learn the skills needed to adapt to differences in the individuals on the team and how their communication or workstyle might be different than your own.  
3. Diverse teams are not only more interesting, they make organizations better by increasing productivity and profitability. 
4. With companies that operate globally or have global customers, there is a strong need to build cultural intelligence.
