This month please join me in celebrating SIETAR USA most important people: Our members. They are the heart to the organization. They deserve an organization that grows with them. For this reason we, the leadership of SIETAR USA, have been working on many projects with our various hard working committee volunteers to offer benefits and incentives to give our members a striving platform where they can be showcased and get opportunities to have a voice in the intercultural field and become successful internationalist.

Leading Global Remote Teams
Monday, June 27
17.00 to 18.00 (CET)
Abstract: As Sietarians we are used to developing the cross cultural skills of team members of global teams. Over the last few years, globally dispersed teams who rarely meet face to face have become more and more common. Many managers feel resistant to managing their teams remotely. In virtual space, management skills are amplified: a good manager becomes and excellent one and a bad managers becomes even worse.
