One should always be motivative your actions should encourage the team as team will always look at how their leader is behaving during difficult situations. You should never show discrimination of any kind among team members.

Respecting each individual. Patience in getting to know every team member. Accepting the limitations and wishes of every team member.

As a team leader you must know how your team "breathes". You must know what are the issues and challenges that each of your team member faces.

Personal approach and understanding is essential in making any team work. Especially a multicultural team.

as per my understanding, management does not concern with the culture, it focus on predefined achievement of goals and objective, whom are they is not the issue. i mean doing things right dont require such things, it just focus on what was plan and if varicose then remedial steps taken to match with planned ones. 

so we will just focus on what is plan and what is achieved, rather than ethnic aspect, yes it count for good performance but very rare and ignoble...
