Building a team within a specific language zone or build a truly global team beyond one’s mother country and language speaking zone is a personal choice. But before deciding which choice is suitable for you, we must consider the following points:-
01. Do you have good communication skills?
02. Are you fluent in English?
03. Do you know any other languages, other than English and your vernacular language (if English is your second language)?
04. Do you have good command over the English language and are you able to teach your team members in a simple, easily understandable way?
05. Are you popular in Social Medias?
06. Do you have a lot of friends within your country and abroad?
The answers for the above questions are mostly YES, it is better you build your team beyond the boundaries of your language zone. If you are poor in communication skills and using English, consider building your team locally and expand to other regions gradually.
Advantages of a local team:
01. You can communicate with your team effectively and more often, in your own language.
02. You can contact your team members personally and lend a hand in help build their team.
03. You have better leverage in your handpicked team; mostly known people compare to an International team of unknown persons.
04. Your team can grow and progress at a tremendous speed and get quick results.
For the downer side; it’s a very risky proposition to build a local team because, a sudden policy change of the ruling Government or a natural calamity or economic downfall or war will turmoil your entire team and all your efforts within hours.
A Global team beyond your language boundary is a better choice at any cost! By building a team consisting members from across the world have more advantages than disadvantages.
The downer side is the problem for effective communication between team members and the Leader. Different time zones and different cultures are some of the minor disadvantages.
The positive and brighter side is that the survivals of your team in any adverse conditions are greater than a local team. Growth potential is also huge. But it takes more time, investment and effort to build a truly global team. Comparing a local team, the growth rate is slow and steady.
From the above points, let’s conclude that building a global team is a better choice.
