Teams are becoming more diverse, and often, this diversity produces decrements in team performance. It has been argued within the literature on teams, that team leadership is instrumental in developing and maintaining effective team performance within all types of teams. Despite this argument, we do not yet fully understand how leaders within culturally diverse teams manage the diversity to promote the affective states and behavioral processes that lead to effective performance. Therefore, this literature review seeks to understand how leaders can promote collective efficacy within diverse teams. Specifically, how a leader with individualistic values can promote collective efficacy within a collectivistic society. Through an integrated literature review, I seek to identify challenges in relation to effective performance through the leaders' abilities to build collective efficacy to avoid mission failure in collectivistic societies.
