US/UK Team Acceleration

Firms in both the United Kingdom and the United States often believe that cultures of both their countries are strikingly similar because they share a common language and history. This misperception can lead to assumptions and actions that ignore important differences and therefore undermine collaborative, team-based interactions between British and Americans.

This workshop is designed for executive teams and other employees of UK and US companies. By examining key cultural differences that impact relationships and productivity in UK/US teams, participants gain skills to develop Team Mission and Values that take cultural differences into account.

Key Objectives - Participants will:

• Explore cultural differences and similarities, and "rules" for working together
• Examine how to maximize and utilize differences to enhance creativity, individual commitment, and total team productivity
• Gain understanding of relevant legal employment issues in both countries
• Enhance understanding of how to build trust and cooperation, as well as how to maximize productivity
