1LACK OF LEADERSHIP IN MULTICULTURAL TEAMSThere are various advantages to work in a multicultural team. As a result of the fact, it isbecoming more and more common in the present days. In order to receive the best talent in agroup, people from all the corners of the world are welcomed frequently. There are two sides inevery coin, thus besides the advantages, there are some drawbacks as well. These are in the formof linguistic issues, forms of communication, difficulty in managing the structural differencesand differences in the decision making.Linguistic issuesThe most important and noticeable challenges that a leader of a student team of auniversity faces is the diversity in terms of language. An international university has studentsfrom each and every corner of the world. Diversity in the languages, issues in the fluency of aparticular language and certain terminologies that are oriented one particular culture, may or maynot be liked by the people of other cultural groups (Kubota 2014). This might lead to loweringthe self-esteem of others, especially if the majority of people belong to one national group. Thereare problems in translating one language so that all the people are capable to understand it. Forms of CommunicationDifferent cultures have different forms of communication. For instance, the people fromthe West prefers the direct ways of communicating with each other whereas the people from theEast prefer indirect communication with each other and are found to be rude, combative andcriticizing. It is not possible for the leader to cope up with all the negative aspects of the group.The leader from the West will not be able to adapt to the changes instantly if he or she has tolead a team of students who belong the East and vice versa (Moran, Abramson and Moran 2014).
