It is easy to manage an international team. I tell them that I am in ET and I set hours of availability based on my timezone. If they wish to contact me I tell them to simply send me an email and I will get back with them in 24 to 48 hours. As far as learning about cultures, I am willing to learn what I need to know. If I have a working in Pakistan, then I will learn as much as I can about that economy and try to relate to them. The same for a worker in France.

However I market globally. I strive to engage people from where I am until I understand that they need to have more information or a different angle. It's good to be flexible but don't overly concern yourself with it until your affiliate ask you to do so.
