Working on a Virtual Leader/Team toolkit to help our Global Virtual
Teams focusing on 6 themes, Performance Management being one..Looking
for tools/concepts for how to manage performance virtually?
Jaclyn Kostner •
Our Virtual Leader / Team toolkit focuses on Alignment,
Relationship-building (1:1 and all-team, while virtual), Accelerated
Collaboration (better than face-to-face), and Virtual Conflict
Management. Our webinar series on these topics focuses all solutions
around communication, collaboration, and human connectedness when people
are NOT face-to-face. Here is a blog post about our toolkit for Virtual
Leaders / Teams. http://mywebinarguru.com/2012/04/25/the-five-super-factors-virtual-teams-must-do-well-or-fail/

Check out our web based, interactive tool, Virtual@Work. It has 6
modules and built in assessments so a virtual team can determine what is
working and where exactly improvements can be made. There are suggested
competencies for virtual leaders and team members and an assessment
that can be used as a 360: http://www.virtualconnection.biz/virtual_team_building.html
Contact me at BMiller@VirtualConnection.biz is you'd like more information.

Hi Nader... Thanks very much for sharing this very interesting and
useful graphic of online tools. Have you done any work / writing on
comparing some of the different products in your picture? Or are you
aware of any materials on this-- where advantages and disadvantages of
the various tools are discussed objectively? (i.e., not from the point
of view of the vendor.) Thanks.
Sue Bray •
Thanks so much Nader for pointing me to those resources... you have done
an amazing amount of writing on the issues of virtual teams and I will
look forward to reading your work. And thank you for the reference to
the student work on tools comparison. I just took a quick look for now,
but they seem to have some very good information. Will go back and spend
more time with this. Thanks for sharing this information!

Hi Nader Thank you. Your papers are terrrific as I am looking at
leadership patterns in global virtual teams for my PhD and your research
offers insights for that and for my PR students on GlobCom an
international global collaboration project we run every year with 11
universities www.globcom.org

Hi Averill, I have gone through GlobCom web site. It is an excellent
concept. I do believe that "Virtual Teams becomes as important as Web
for companies".

Huge challenge, virtual teams. Mintzberg developed CoachingOurselves to
get virtual teams to talk and reflect together on their workplace
experiences. He provides material (Ideas, perspectives, concepts) to
guide and spark these 75 minute over the phone sessions and frame the
conversations into a new light. Over 70 management topics to choose
from, many on performance management. CoachingOurselves.com
