Developing Your Leadership of Virtual Teams
On August 3, 2010, I published in this blog an article titled - Teams Working Remotely :(http://hrising.blogspot.com/2010/08/teamworking-remotly.html )
Today, I received an invitation for a TMA webinar - LEADING SUCCESSFUL VIRTUAL TEAMS, in which Steven Pritchard, who is TMA's World Director for Global Accounts, says: "In today’s increasingly “virtual” working environment, more than ever managers are called upon to lead teams whose members are separated by distance, time zones, and cultures. Success depends on it. But leading virtually requires a new and different set of skills from leading a co-located team. We need to build “virtual” trust, ensure smooth communication, clarity of purpose, and ultimately optimal performance from a multicultural team operating in a virtual environment."

Last but not least ... In my opinion for REMOTE TEAMS to be successful, companies must invest in increasing their awareness of cultural differences, and needed respect for all different cultural perspectives.

Hoje, recebi um convite para o seminário virtual da TMA - Liderando Equipes Virtuais Bem Sucedidas, no qual Steven Pritchard, que é o diretor de contas globais da TMA, diz: " No atual e crescente ambiente de trabalho "virtual", mais que nunca os gerentes são requisitados para liderar equipes nas quais o seus membros estão separados pela distancia física, diferentes fusos horários e culturas. O sucesso depende disto. Mas liderar virtualmente requer un elenco de novas e diferentes habilidades, diferentes daquelas utilizadas para liderar equipes no mesmo local. Nós precisamos construir a confiança "virtual", garantir uma comunicação tranquila, clareza de propósito, e definitivamente o melhor desempenho de uma equipe multicultural operando em ambiente virtual."

Por último mas não menos importante ... na minha opinião para as EQUIPES REMOTAS serem bem sucedidas, as empresas devem investir em ampliar a sua conscientização das diferenças culturais e o necessário respeito por todas as diferentes perspectivas culturais.
