Working with Intercultural teams- My experience
- Some people might have encountered some issues working in multicultural teams, i have to admit that it is not easy to work with multicultural people, since you get to interact with people coming from different part of the world who definitely have distinct cultural backgrounds, but, there are a lot of things that i consider to be advantageous. While encountering hard times dealing with some of the group member, whenever such thing happens, we always decide to come together as a team and discuss about struggles that we might be facing. When it comes to working in a multicultural team, it is highly recommended to put our positions in others', in other words, putting ourselves in others' pair of shoes. Realizing that each of us is a different human being and understanding each other is one of those things that can help you solve your problem better. Finally, i would like to say, i've got all this knowledge/ guidance from Hanze, I personally, would not have known how to handle it if Hanze had not supported me with an Intercultural Competences knowledge (YAY). I think this is a great knowledge especially for the ones who wish to be an International communication professional, where working with multicultural teams will be just your daily food. -Helaria
