What good global team leaders excel at is producing a compelling narrative that binds everyone together.
The hardest part lies in creating a sense of everybody striving towards a common goal, while understanding that each market will have a different way of getting the job done.
Do not turn your global headquarters into an ivory tower. Don’t completely cut yourself off from the realities that your employees are facing on the ground in different countries.
If your business strategy involves different global markets, then you need to be thinking about what level of innovation each market will individually require from a local team.
We dealt with a perceived lack of empowerment locally by devolving accountability to the appropriate level within the organisation, and then reminding people that this comes with responsibility.
