We dispel the myths about Virtual Teams

• ‘I have the best people on my team. They are all experts in their fields so my team is bound to be great’
• ‘The technology I have is the best (the IT department told me it was)’ so my team will be fine’
• ‘My leadership skills are great (I know this because I’ve run my team in my office successfully for years)’
• ‘My team will work really well because I have people in different locations’

Do you have people in your team who aren’t producing?

Do you have ‘technical experts’ who can’t work with others?

Do you have team members who keep missing deadlines?

Do you have people who want to have all their meetings as face-to-face meetings and don’t like communicating over the phone?

More and more organisations are having to get people who once worked in offices, sitting right next to their colleagues, to work remotely and as part of a virtual team

This booklet, Virtual Teams – How to Run Them Successfully, By Judi Williams and Nancy Slessenger, shows you not only how to get your team up and running but also how to keep them going over the long term

Are you having to deal with cultural diversity?

More and more of us work with people of different backgrounds and living in other parts of the world. In this booklet you will discover the key areas you need to focus on to enable members of your team to work smoothly together.

We include a specific check list to guide you.
