Office face-time may always play a critical role in certain corporate settings, but technology and globalization have combined to thrust "virtual meetings" into an increasingly important place on today's overall business stage. With once-rigid boundaries of time, geography, and even organization now rapidly disappearing, members of almost any workplace team can communicate and collaborate regardless of physical location. How to do so most effectively? Deborah L. Duarte, assistant professor at George Washington University, and Nancy Tennant Snyder, chief learning officer for Whirlpool Corporation, outline suggestions applicable to large and small organizations alike in Mastering Virtual Teams. Designed for those who work in--as well as lead--such teams, it is divided into sections that focus on their unique inherent complexities, their creation, and their operation. Real-life examples and the authors' experienced observations are complemented by an abundance of helpful checklists and practical exercises. --Howard Rothman

Book Description
MASTERING VIRTUAL TEAMS is the only book with a truly practical focus for leaders of virtual and global teams; it lays out specific guidelines, exercises, strategies and best practices for virtual team leaders and offers solutions for the unique challenges of working cross-culturally and cross-functionally.
Brief Description: Over 80% of today's companies use virtual teams, and these teams need practical information about working successfully. This book provides practical tools and advice on how to lead and be a member of a virtual team. Geographic expansion and globalization of corporations has been a widespread phenomenon; however, after strategies and structure are put into place, many organizations find that achieving business objectives relies on teamwork among people from different parts of the company, and from different cultures, in different locations. These teams must work across distance, time, and organizational boundaries to leverage intellectual capital and apply it as quickly as possible. These often-global project teams do not operate according to team models designed for teams that reside in the same location-the competencies demanded of team members differ, and team leaders are responsible for managing the task itself, as well as a new complex set of issues such as managing time, differences in culture, and ways of doing business.
