Veja como você pode mediar conflitos entre membros da equipe de diferentes países.

O conhecimento das culturas e tradições de cada membro eh importante para o líder, para dirimir conflitos de modo prévio. Outra ação importante é esse intercâmbio de informações, de modo que cada um exponha suas tradições e hábitos a todos da equipe de modo a trazer empatia e não diferenciação, com a contextualização de sua rotina, seu país e até hábitos religiosos como integração.

It's crucial to familiarize yourself with the cultural backgrounds of your team members. Knowing their cultural norms and values can help you anticipate and understand potential conflicts. Personal Experience: Coming from Ukraine to the US, I found it immensely helpful to read "The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer. This book provided me with insights into different cultural dimensions, which has been invaluable in understanding my diverse team.

Cultural awareness is crucial when navigating multicultural environments, whether in personal or professional settings. One must act respectfully towards the other, demonstrate tolerance, and remain open-minded to different perspectives and behaviors. Actions considered customary in one's culture may be offensive to others. Most importantly, when immersed in a different culture, one must adapt to their new reality by learning the customs, traditions, and social norms part of this new culture.

Practice active listening by giving your full attention, acknowledging different viewpoints, and confirming understanding. This builds trust and shows respect for each team member's perspective.

A escuta ativa conciliada a empatia deve ser estimulado na equipe e não uma característica apenas do líder. Esse comportamento deve ser uma prática em equipes multiculturais. Isso permite a troca de posições e a reflexão sobre comportamentos e falas evitando um retorno imediato, carregado de emoções e subjetivismos.

Active listening is crucial in every professional environment. When someone is paying attention to what the other says, the listener demonstrates empathy and builds trust by valuing the speaker's perspective. Everyone appreciates being respected and heard. Active listening is also crucial for developing team building. Every member can benefit from the different points of view of the others. When one listens to the other and understands what they are saying, there is a reduction in conflicts and misunderstandings.

Use neutral and inclusive language to avoid escalating the conflict. Avoid idioms, slang, or culturally specific references that might be misunderstood. Personal Experience: I once unintentionally used a phrase that was common in Ukraine but had a different connotation in English. Since then, I've learned to be more mindful of my word choices, ensuring clarity and neutrality.

Encourage the conflicting parties to work together to find a mutually beneficial solution. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of ownership and commitment to the resolution. In a disagreement over project priorities, I facilitated a brainstorming session where team members collaboratively developed a balanced action plan, which everyone supported.

Outro aspecto relevante é o acompanhamento do líder junto a resolução, acompanhando os envolvidos bem com ações e resultados internos e externos do conflito. Importante compartilhar apresentando feedbacks construtivos e estimulando a colaboração junto ao trabalho e a equipe.

After resolving a conflict, follow up with the involved parties to ensure the solution is being implemented and to address any lingering issues. This shows that you are committed to maintaining harmony in the team.

Provide ongoing cultural training and resources to your team to enhance their understanding and appreciation of each other’s backgrounds. This proactive approach can prevent conflicts from arising.
