Amazing book, full of examples and suggestions on how to improve your team-building culture, how to structure your team (being remote or not) and have it perform at its best.
The book follows along with a story that opens up the topics one by one: formation of the team, motivation, seeing each other as humans and not as "specialist" only. It marks a lot of points, making examples and explaining how to overcome difficulties.
I loved how the author explains the key principle of a working - effectively working - team. Loved the comparison between remote teams, normal teams, family teams. All of them can be `power team`s if the members of the team are guided by someone who knows what to do to `empower` teams across borders; being the border physical distance, cultural distance, or different aspects of life in general.

"The nucleus of this power team isn't the manager or the boss, it isn't any member of the team. It is the purpose and goal of the team".

Peter is a friend of mine so I might be a little bias. Peter has really developed how to successfully work remotely in teams long before the pandemic. Many good insights on how to develop your organization for the future. I had Peter as my guest on Inside Ideas podcast where we talked about his books, working in teams, and international management.

Nowadays, managing a team in which not everyone is physically present at the same location becomes more and more the norm. The top reasons why such teams fail are:
• They fail to build trust despite the distance
• They can't overcome communication barriers
• The goals of the individual and the team aren't aligned
• The vision and goal of the team aren't clear or the team doesn't identify with it
This book is a quick read with some nice titbits and practical tips on how to avoid virtual teams from failing. I especially liked the "lifeline" exercise during which everyone talks a little bit about personal and professional high- and lowlights.
