p. 74 - 81 <span> <span><span> Many companies today rely on employees around the world, leveraging their diversity and local expertise to gain a competitive edge. However, geographically dispersed teams face a big challenge: Physical separation and cultural differences can create social distance, or a lack of emotional connection, that leads to misunderstandings and mistrust. To help global team leaders manage effectively, the author shares her SPLIT framework for mitigating social distance. It has five components: • Structure. If a team is made up of groups with different views about their relative power, the leader should connect frequently with those who are farthest away and emphasize unity. • Process. Meeting processes should allow for informal interactions that build empathy. • Language. Everyone, regardless of language fluency, should be empowered to speak up. • Identity. Team members must be active cultural learners and teachers to understand one another’s identity and avoid misinterpreting behaviors. • Technology. When choosing between videoconferencing, e-mail, and other modes of communication, leaders should ask themselves if real-time conversation is desirable, if their message needs reinforcement, and if they are opting for the technology they want others to use.
