MANAGING A DISTRIBUTED TEAM
CILIP workshop, 10 June 2003, London
Building teams that are competitive and responsive to current needs often necessitates gathering together people with wide-ranging skills and experiences. This can mean assembling teams that are made up of freelance and contract workers, part-time workers, and team members who telework. So many teams are now no longer working together in the same physical location.
The complexity of such teams can bring unique challenges for those responsible for managing them. This workshop explores different approaches that may be adopted in order to manage distributed teams, and looks at how shared goals, clear direction, and mutual trust and respect can be successfully established among dispersed team members.
BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
* explored the particular challenges presented by managing a distributed team
* received a framework for managing these teams, including: creating a sense of belonging, balancing the needs of task and team, communication for teamwork, keeping work on track, and dealing with difficulties between team members
* exchanged ideas and approaches
* started to prepare an action plan
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Library and information managers who are responsible for managing distributed teams.
