What Is A Virtual Team?
> A Virtual Team is a group of individuals who
work across time, space, and organizational
boundaries.
> Virtual teams typically have complementary
skills and are committed to a common purpose,
have interdependent performance goals, and
share an approach to work for which they hold
themselves mutually accountable.
> Successful virtual teams leverage advances in
technology and organizational practices to
enable employees to work seamlessly across
an integrated network of places including:
home, satellite offices, telework centers,
customer / partner sites or any other workplace
outside the main office.

Enabling the Virtual Organization
> Fact: There is no silver bullet to successfully manage virtual and dispersed teams.
Instead, success is largely dependent on purposeful, disciplined implementation of
many good practices, most of which are already part of skilled managers’
competencies.
> Fact: The quality of the manager becomes increasingly important as the team
becomes more virtual.

> The difference between ‘just’ managing and ‘successfully’
managing is being proactive

» Align with company strategy and goals
» Use face-to-face meetings to communicate new elements or key
changes
> Develop and nurture team relationships
» Emphasize importance of team members getting to know one
another
» Expand relationships; include personal interests along with
professional
» Encourage input and dialogue; respect for one another
» Establish team protocols and processes and manage diligently
> Coach and mentor

Developing Respect and Trust
> Foster a culture of two-way communication. Communicate
frequently and in different ways. Respect and trust erode
when employees do not interact or talk with each other.
> Optimize employees’ strengths and motivations
» Get to know your employees
» Leverage their strengths by assigning tasks that optimize their
skills
» Acknowledge accomplishment; verbally, figuratively and
financially
> Value the individual
» Follow through with commitments. Honor the sanctity of the
1:1. This may be the only time your employee has to talk with
you. Don’t take it lightly.
» Practice authenticity. Read and comment on routine reports.
Make your employees feel their work matters.
» Write personal, handwritten notes to show interest and
understanding
» Go out of your way to visit with employees where practical.
You need to stay sufficiently ‘in touch’ with your team.

Managing with Rigor and Discipline
> Document team output
» Establish routine for capturing output from team discussions
» Formalize a team archive for easy storage and retrieval of
information
> Establish and enforce protocols and etiquette
» Proactively negotiate team rules that are equitable to all and meet
the majority of your team’s needs, not just the outspoken
individuals
» Document and communicate to all
» Rigorously enforce all team rules
> Manage meetings in efficient, disciplined manner
» Establish fixed times for routine team meetings allowing members
to adjust their schedules
» Periodically or as appropriate, consider alternating call times to
align when employees in other time zones are ‘fresh’
» Keep conference calls interactive, never more than 60 minutes
» Don’t be afraid to end early if finished; don’t waste your team’s
time
» Use technology (e.g., IM) to enhance effectiveness of meetings
» Engage employees on calls asking questions in the middle of
presentations

Establishing Ownership and
Accountability
> Consistently assign action item ownership to specific
individuals
» Make assignments clear and avoid group ownership without
individual accountability
> Assure clear visibility of ownership and progress using team
processes and collaboration tools
» Use a ‘scrum’ process for meetings asking each member on a
routine timeframe; what have you accomplished, what do you
plan to accomplish and do you need any help?
» Use collaboration tools like wikis to show individual progress on
assignments
> Understand and address root cause under-performance
» Get to the bottom of an issue; understand the details before
taking action
» Take action early, not necessarily immediate termination
» Consider the possibility of alternative assignments or roles as
there may have been a miss-match of skills or abilities from a
capable, motivated employee

Importance of Having Fun
> Memorable events, even if low budget, cement
relationships and make being part of the team fun
and invigorating
» Carefully plan events to balance work and fun
activities
» Include spouses or significant others, where
appropriate
» Encourage employees to extend their stay, if possible,
to make the most effective use of travel and stimulate
other interests
> Encourage employees to interact outside of work in
special organized activities such as:
» Sports Days where employees jointly attend events
» Cultural Days where employees share in artistic type
activities
> Cultivate a culture of fun and making jokes
> Develop traditions like special event songs or virtual
celebrations; don’t be afraid of being creative

Conclusion
