Synopsis

Distributed teams are becoming more common as organizations use new technologies to span across geographic boundaries. Distributed Team Collaboration in Organizations: Emerging Tools and Practices summarizes the challenges inherent in leading distributed teams and explores practices that are emerging to optimize distributed team performance. Learning to form and sustain high-performing distributed teams with members in multiple locations, time zones, and with diverse cultural perspectives requires new approaches to collaboration. This book highlights the new skills needed for leadership, collaboration, and cooperation and can aid organizations in developing these skills in the workforce.
