The team processes of communication, decision making, management of developmental
stages, and leadership are key determinants of how this multicultural
team will manage its dynamics and meet its goals and mandate. There may be a
leadership challenge here as the Indian team member, who grew up in a hierarchal
and male-dominated society, may have to adjust to a female leader. This team’s
climate and effectiveness will be determined by how the team-level factors will be
managed and the impact of the organizational and societal factors.
