The age of the distributed team is upon us. Teams can now operate
and collaborate from locations other than a central office, and
events surrounding the 2020 COVID pandemic have thrown its
practicality into sharp relief. Managing a team whose members are
distributed across several locations requires a different mindset
and will remain a must-have for all areas of business from this
point forward. Building and Managing High-Performance Distributed
Teams explains what the distributed teams concept means to the
future of your company. Author Alberto S. Silveira Jr. leverages
his industry knowledge to explore why the high-performance
distributed team model is vital to the future of business, and
explains how to build and maintain one through times of change. You
will learn to differentiate between distributed teams, remote work,
offshoring, and what each means in a modern context. Silveira also
weaves in stories from his other life as a boater and sailor, using
analogies and lessons gained from humankind's thousands of years of
maritime adventure to illustrate the value of well-managed teams,
and to also convey the importance of life-work balance in today's
working world. The book analyzes team management strategies from
some of the great successes and failures in recent years so that
you can learn from the experiences of others. Building and Managing
High-Performance Distributed Teams is your definitive guide for
building a dynamic distributed team, using collaboration technology
to attract and engage the most important element of any
business-your people. Whether you are a department head, a business
owner, or a team leader, this book presents the no-nonsense
knowledge you need now to chart your course for success. What You
Will Learn Understand what the new era of connected business means,
and the role distributed teams will play. Differentiate between
distributed teams, remote work, nearshore, and offshoring, and what
each means to modern business. Discover the true heart of a
high-performance distributed team (hint: it's not the technology).
Find out what the era of distributed teams means to existing
infrastructure. Uncover what we can learn about team management
from some of the great successes and failures of recent years.
Appreciate the techniques honed by seafarers, pilots, and software
designers combined to create a successful project plan for team
management and company navigation. Comprehend the effective
simplicity of the "power of three" in building successful teams.
Apply proven techniques of measurement and metrics without leaving
the human factor behind to improve team morale and productivity.
Who This Book Is For Team leaders or officers of small-ish
companies, with populations in the tens through to the
mid-hundreds. It's also for managers of somewhat autonomous
departments within larger companies, and for everyone else in the
boat because everyone in a company ultimately needs to know what
being in a distributed team is all about.
