Cultivating your Communications in an International Project Team

By Gareth Byatt, Gary Hamilton, and Jeff Hodgkinson

We gave some examples of when to use different communications mediums to suit the task at hand. In this follow-up communications piece, we talk about some of the nuances of working in an international project team, and in particular, some things to bear in mind when you communicate with, and present to people from cultures different from your own.
