Composition of the Three 10-Member Teams in the Sites
The team comprises ethnically diverse individuals from different countries including Asia,
Africa, UK, Mexico, and the United States. It also comprises workers from different ethnic groups
including whites, African Americans, Hispanics, Indians, and Native Americans. The workers are
of different age groups and demographics including the millennials, x-generation among others
(Maddock, 2012). The business is mostly accomplished through team building by the team
members. The members of the team contribute to organizational success by presenting different
skills set needed for the effective completion of the organizational processes within the firm.
There are different cultures within the team. They present different perspectives, values,
and experiences shared across the team. However, failure to recognize the differences in the
perspectives and experiences of the employees from different cultures may significantly lead to
frustrations and conflicts. The most common differences emerge from communication styles and
individual preferences and frames among the cultural diversity (Ross, 2016). For instance,
employees from Mexico are willing to put in extra hours without additional pay while the African
Americans and whites are not willing to do the same. Furthermore, they differ in how these
employees from different cultures view humanity, nature, achievement and activity, interpersonal
relationships, and time among other qualities. Work culture in these countries is either collective or
individualistic. For workers coming from Asia and Africa, they have a collective work culture as
they focus on the goals and objectives of the entire group. They aim at establishing long-term
relationships and recognizing the team’s success.
