* Cultural Diversity Management: Leading a team with diverse cultural backgrounds requires a focus on common goals and the purpose of the team. This helps unify the team and provides a clear sense of direction.
* Team Purpose and Need: Clearly articulating the need for the team and its objectives ensures that all members, regardless of cultural differences, understand their roles and the importance of their contributions.
* Effective Team Leadership: Focusing on the need for the team helps in overcoming cultural barriers and fosters collaboration, commitment, and a shared sense of purpose.
* Reference: This approach is supported by leadership and team management principles, such as those outlined in "Leading Global Teams" by Harvard Business Review and "Cultural Intelligence: CQ" by David Livermore, which emphasize the importance of a shared mission in managing culturally diverse teams.
