$$Our teams in different countries have learned a great deal, so I am putting together an international team to study and share the best practices that have been developed. This team will have people from each continent where we operate. How should I plan to manage this team?$$

Speak about everyone on the team as though they are the same to help team members feel they are being treated equally. Do not single people out for special recognition.

To promote a sense of privacy, do not monitor online team communications. Keep information that may change frequently to yourself, as sharing it would be confusing.

Encourage team members to socialize online by sharing photos and videos. Reach out to people from cultures where proactively sharing ideas is not valued.

Understand that some people use online technology more than others and cannot be expected to participate as much. Accept that Internet culture often involves $$trolling$,$ or disrespectful disagreement, and do not interfere if this happens.
