Managing Virtual Teams Whitepaper
Posted on 19. Jan, 2010 by Phil Gerbyshak in Uncategorized
I’m a lucky manager; all 10 of my direct reports are located within 100 feet of me. I know I’m lucky because in my research, I’ve found most managers have at least 1 direct report in a different location than they are, making it tough to manage them.
So what can you do? I have no idea…but I know someone who does.
Founder of Great Web Meetings and friend of The Management Expert Wayne Turmel wrote a nifty white paper that addresses this, and more.
3 Reasons Virtual Teams Fail – and how to see it coming, addresses:
- Why are virtual teams different and why does it matter?
- Can you do great work and still fail?
- What are the three reasons virtual teams fail?
- What should you watch out for?

Oh, but Phil. If your people are more than 50 feet away, you’ve got a virtual team on your hands. See MIT Professor Tom Allen’s ground-breaking research done some 30 years ago.
This is news to me. Please share any links so I may learn more. Sounds very interesting.
