Coaching Global Teams and Global Team Leaders

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Leading Global Teams

Abstract

As globalization continues to transform national business landscapes, global teams have increasingly become popular vehicles for accomplishing organizational objectives. Global teams, whose membership spans national boundaries, face numerous hurdles in their efforts to achieve high levels of performance. Typically, they operate across different time zones, accomplish much if not most of their work remotely, interact primarily through technology-assisted communication, and their members frequently speak different languages. Often, global teams are comprised of members from different cultural backgrounds.

In recent years, coaching, provided by both leader coaches and external and internal business or executive coaches, has become a commonplace strategy for helping individuals and teams maximize team performance. While business and academic interest in effective global teams and effective global leadership has grown over the past decade, there is a remarkable gap in the professional and academic literature on coaching global teams and team leaders. This chapter provides an overview of coaching and culture, effective global teams, and coaching global teams and team leaders. With an eye to providing managers and executive coaches access to current research and best practices, the chapter is informed by the extant literature and the author’s personal experiences as leader coach of several cross-cultural teams and as an executive coach. The purpose of the chapter is to identify successful emerging global leadership coaching practices and to offer preliminary practical suggestions for coaching global team leaders and global teams.
