According to Gardenswartz and Rowe (2003), team goals are the means to
articulate and translate the overall mission. Collective understanding and clarity
around team goals is crucial for a team’s success. In our experience with both
monocultural and multicultural teams, we recall many instances when there was no
discussion of the team’s overall goal. In such cases, the individual members assume
that the goal is understood and clear to everyone, which is not always the case. In
such cases, there is potential for frustration, lack of timely progress, and unmet or
incomplete goals. This potential is even greater in multicultural teams due to the
variety in expectations, individual goals, and backgrounds that members bring to
the team. Therefore, it is very important for multicultural teams to develop collective
understanding of their goals and link them to the members’ individual expectations
and aspirations to the extent possible.
