Virtual Team Video Cliff Notes

It’s been an exciting time for Yael Zofi since her latest book A Manager’s Guide to Virtual Teams was released last fall.  As interest in the virtual world continually grows, Yael and her team have become the ‘go to’ resource for answers to questions about how to succeed in the virtual world.

 

Recently, Yael was interviewed by WatchIT TV about key techniques for working with and managing virtual teams.  She shares the elements that every high performing team must master, and offers the cliff notes version of what every colleague needs to know, including the four most critical elements: Context Communication; Trust and Accountability; Conflict Mediation and Deliverable Management.  Every chapter of her book is touched on in this informative talk, including Team Setup, Cross Cultural Communications and the Future of Virtual Teams.

 

To begin, here’s Yael talking about the passion behind her interest in this subject and a short glimpse of the process that resulted in A Manager’s Guide to Virtual Teams.
