Firstly, the team through its leadership must develop appropriate rules, guidelines, principles, regulations and benchmarks to offset comprehension of cultural differences of which each member must subscribe too, agree upon and uphold. Secondly, the team through its leadership should embark on effectively changing, transforming and impacting on the mindsets of the team members, clearly bringing out the importance and brilliance of having and working in multicultural environment. Thirdly, the team through its leadership should provide a pleasant and friendly atmosphere and platform for the members to practice and indulge in a multicultural environment. On the other hand however, the members should also play their role of appreciating and embracing the existence and significance of a multicultural environment, which is now a fundamental factor in this global village.

Initially this happens in international organizations where you get few differences in clutures.  Usually there are sessions that makes people become together and understand others culture.

 

Trainings can be given as well by the organization to over-ride these things.
