WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND:

• Many companies recycle the same guidelines and best practices they use for their co located teams and hope for the best. That just doesn't work. Virtual teams and face to face teams are the proverbial 'apples and oranges' and leaders who recognize this fact are the ones whose teams succeed. Virtual teams regularly fall victim to four pitfalls:
• Lack of clear goals, direction, or priorities Because it is tougher to communicate with team members who are geographically dispersed, it is often difficult to keep all team members focused on the same goals, especially over time.
• Lack of clear roles among team members In virtual teams, it is especially important for members to clearly understand their individual roles and how their work impacts other team members.
• Lack of cooperation and trust Because there’s limited or no face to face contact the process of establishing trust and relationships that lead to group cooperation will be more difficult and can lead to a silo mentality.
• Lack of engagement With virtual teams, people can easily become bored and "check out" because there is a lack of dynamic face to face interaction and because there are more distractions.
• Also, research has shown that the leadership style of the team or project leader has greater effects on the productivity of virtual teams as compared to that on the traditional collocated teams. It’s important for all the virtual team leaders or managers to revisit their leadership approach.
