Description: Leading culturally diverse teams is a complex challenge that requires knowing how to help team members grow in particular qualities and acquire specific skills related to multicultural teamwork. Leading Multicultural Teams integrates insights from the Bible, team theory, leadership, and intercultural studies to explain how to meet this challenge.
Brief description: Evelyn and Richard Hibbert were pioneer church planters among Turkish speakers in Bulgaria. During that time, they also developed leadership training for a movement of thousands of Muslim-background believers to Christ. They have since taught cross-cultural missions and education and advised missionaries serving across the world. Richard was the Director of the Centre for Cross-Cultural Mission at the Sydney Missionary and Bible College in Australia up until his death from cancer in 2020. Evelyn is the leader of the Angelina Noble Centre, a research center for women involved in cross-cultural mission.
Review Quotes:
This is the book I needed to read before going to the mission field! In spite of having almost forty years' experience working with multicultural teams, I have learned so much from reading it. I will treasure the wisdom and practical help, both in the body of the book as well as in the resources suggested in the footnotes and the appendices. If I had read this book before going to Thailand, it would have saved me a lot of pain and misunderstanding, and I'm sure the missionary community will benefit enormously from this valuable resource.
