Context: Many sectors in the UK and around the world have now shifted to hybrid/flexible work. Managers now need to lead teams where some members may work from home for some part of their time.

A report on 'how managers of multi-cultural teams should lead within the context of hybrid work.'

Your report should discuss in detail three or four aspects/themes of management and cultural observations in this specific context (that of hybrid/flexible work format). Such aspects/themes can include conflict resolution, change management, motivation of staff, communicating strategy and decisions, decision making and delegation, team dynamics and sense of belonging, leadership and power, cooperation and coordination between unions, ethics in management, etc.

Your report targets experienced managers who, due to the current hybrid work format in many sectors, are starting to lead (or have been leading) their multicultural teams who may be directly or indirectly affected by this new work pattern.

Your report is to give them some literature-supported advice to successfully perform their managerial role at such changing times, drawing upon some examples from successful stories in the international business context
