Building Great (Virtual) Teams

What Clients Say

General Mills

Earl, you were instrumental in helping with the very large challenge of getting our Safety Collaboration Teams to work together, both cross-functionally and virtually, using our in-house IT collaboration tools. Thanks for another big success.

A virtual team is much, much more than a collection of humans, working at a distance with phones, email, and fancy collaboration software!

A solid virtual team, like any other team, is best formed intentionally. It's members will have fierce clarity about the team's mission, goals, and each other's roles and responsibilities. In addition to enabling hardware and software technologies, the team will have had training with the avialble collaborative tools and be familiar with virtual team best practices.

Finally, a great virtual team will be managed by a leader who is comfortable in virtual space and who is able to create a climate of trust, accountability, and connectedness.
