Managing Cross Cultural Remote Teams | Ricardo Fernandez | TEDxIESEBarcelona

- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- Ricardo talks about the every day complexities of working remotely and managing a team of 30 people from very different cultures and backgrounds. He discusses the benefits of working remotely and the ability to prise productivity over presence. However, there are some interesting challenges - people can have different perceptions of time management, speak the same language but have different interpretations, etc. Challenges like these get compounded when working remotely.
Ricardo is not an expert in cross cultural communication but has over the last 10 years been working remotely with several companies and teams from many different countries. He was born in Spain but spent most of his time living abroad between the USA, France, Netherlands, and Puerto Rico, where he learnt how to adapt to the differences in every day conversation and activities. He currently lives in Madrid and works remotely as Chief Marketing and Sales Officer for Prodigy Finance; a company that is spread around the world and has expanded the use of remote working to be more efficient in the workplace.
His work philosophy is making people happy and giving them the tools they need so they excel in their workplace - one of them being able to manage their time. Personal happiness will bring about success in the workplace and millennials or younger generations demand flexible work environments.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Love this. 3yrs old but so fresh and real in 2021. Zoomlife is now the norm for so many more people.

THANK YOU!
Team management consisting of people belonging to different backgrounds, culture etc, well presented
Absolutely correct... Managing cross cultural team really really a great task. So many differenr things to face. Languages, Religions, Cultures, communication here is the most tough job... This discussion throughs a great light ....
Hi ! I just saw your scintillating talk, 3 years later, in India, in the time of the virus that has made all of us sit at home away from our co-workers and I cannot describe the goosebumps I feel listening to you say all this THEN ! Speaking of multiple cultures, India itself as you know is a mini continent and I have had the luck of working the East, West, North and South and English takes very different meanings and nuances in each part. Why English ? A simple nod is interpreted differently. Working in the South you find people agreeing to you my making a motion as it they are marking a tick across a paper in front of them with an invisible pen in their mouth- side to side movement. In the West at a Head Office meeting I subconsciously was doing that, agreeing to my superior when he got irritated and said, " First LISTEN to what I am saying"...As I analysed this on my way out it struck me...that same side wards head motion meant NO in the West and North of the country ! ( And I have spent all my life here ! SO you just nailed it with the cross cultural points
I really appreciate taking MGT 630 course on Diversity & Inclusion in UMGC, Such an eye-opener. Learning every day about cultural differences and how to manage situations better in a multilevel culturally diverse team.
Same here! Loving this class.
It is really interesting to know Managing cross cultural Remote Teams
Well, this aged well!
Very interesting. Thank you
This video is 6 year old, when remote working was not so popular. Personally, I didn't learn much from this. In the beginning the focus is on different cultures. I have worked in different cultures and the first thing I learn is the language even if they have my native language, so I am sure I am being understood by localsm. The use of the word "but", for example. In the end, what I understood is the he implies that presencial work is better. Now, I am going to get that book, he showed.

Hello to all MBS students that are doing the Elearning hahah :)
Do you have any resource available that teaches about being a US company that hires remote work and how does it play out? Thank you!
Did you find something good? I am looking for the same.
@@archanarajan4 I wanted to get to the legal structure of it and I opted for just write it off as an expense
Hello everyone umgc mgmt615 wk 4-5 discussion.
Good
This "Just now" expression from South Africa is very similar to the Brazilian one "5 minutes"
We got the '5 minutes' in our culture too. Mom: "Can you please stop playing the game?" Kid; "Just 5 more minutes!"
I was hearing for 10 minutes and I did not find any lesson related with how to work efficiently and meaningfully with different cultures. He gave a lot of examples of misunderstandings related to working with different cultures, yet He did not make any recommendation.
POV: your teacher made you watch this
Well presentation but not easily understood
Quite a good speech, but I find it suprising that he uses "killing it" which is American slang used by younger people in informal settings. I would never say that professionally and especially an international team.
For God`s sake, for the millionth time - Africa is not a country!!!!!! So you will rather cite Los Angeles and other USA cities than saying in which country in Africa you were? Sorry but it doesnt make me want to continue watching your video.
Geez, this is a very close topic for me, I have a ton of issues with the same issue (s) and I'm trying to fight the corporate monster to improve it. And still this guy made me bored during his presentation.
Wonderful video on practical difficulties on remote teams , cross cultural complications of comprehending communication .
