Blog Business Success Radio Interview

Recently I was interviewed on 'live' radio during Wayne Hurlbert's Blog Business Success radio show. I described how virtual teams are reshaping the way we do business and shared practical tips about virtual team management. Combining technology and globalization, virtual teams are the new face of teamwork in business. Mr. Hurlbert asked pertinent questions about best practices for Team Setup and ways to avoid the most frequent pitfalls and mistakes made in virtual team management.

Some of the questions explored during the interview include:

Why virtual teams are being ever more important for companies?
How to set up and manage a virtual team the right way?
How to ensure that teams produce results and deliver the goods on time?
What is the future of virtual teams for business and for management?
How can team managers know that the work is being done.

During the interview, I described the main steps for managers to take in order to develop a strategy and getting deliverables out the door, such as tracking and frequency mechanisms for virtual communication and feedback between team members. We also spoke about effective ways to maximize the long-term benefits of virtual teams, including how to develop trust, defuse conflict and manage projects more efficiently.
