Short Description
Sharing practical strategies for leading international teams and tackling complex technical challenges, from coordinating across time zones to building genuine connections that drive innovation.
Key Content
In my presentation to over 100 eager future attendees, I shared:
Building My First Global Team
My journey from solo researcher to team leader—how I learned to connect with teammates across cultures before diving into tasks
My Remote Collaboration System
Tools and workflows I created to overcome the 12-hour time difference—turning our biggest challenge into our unique advantage
My People-First Meeting Style
How I transformed our meetings from status updates to engaging discussions where everyone's voice matters, regardless of timezone
Growing Through Challenges
The moments when my leadership was tested and how I learned to adapt my approach rather than expecting others to adapt to me
Audience Interaction
During the post-session Q&A session, future team members and leaders asked a variety of questions, ranging from "How do you communicate?" to "How do you find your research direction?"—questions I'd previously wondered.
Personal Reflection
Reflecting, summarizing, and sharing my experiences has helped me clarify my strengths and weaknesses:
My leadership style differs from the purely task-oriented leadership styles I often encounter. Building genuine connections with teammates, understanding their unique circumstances, and creating an environment that embraces differences are beneficial for achieving tasks.
When faced with difficult challenges, we can think outside the box and seek more fundamental solutions.
Team building is a crucial step, and a plan is essential to ensure the rationality of the choices we make.
