Today, whether the task is to develop a new drug, launch a product or work on a strategic project, much of our work is done through global teams. These teams are usually cross-functional, cross-geographic, cross-cultural and span multiple time zones. They may also cross company lines through strategic alliances. They face the challenges of having to work "virtually", with a balance of high tech and high touch.

Based on Lynda's experience working with over 1,000 global teams in over 25 countries, the presentation will provide the participants with "best practice" learnings and tools relevant to developing and leading world class global teams.

This audio conference covers:

• Launching a successful global team
• Assessing your global team leadership skills
• Understanding the benefits and challenges of working on global teams
• Evaluating your global team's effectiveness against industry best practices
• Building bridges with the diversity of global teams for world class results.
