Synopsis

Manage Virtual Teams for Maximum Results
Working remotely is a reality of today's and tomorrow's workforce. With organizations switching from a model of only on-site employees to on-site and virtual employees working globally, managers need guidance on how to address the traditional and not-so-traditional issues that occur when staff is not collocated.
The Unashamed Guide to Virtual Management provides that direction for topics such as onboarding new staff and delivering performance reviews as well as for the more offbeat issues like handling office romance and doing laundry on the job.
Using short chapters and a fun, whimsical, yet straightforward style, Ben Bisbee and Kathy Wisniewski answer the critical questions about how to manage virtual teams. No matter your problem, you'll be able to evaluate what went wrong, determine how the solution fits within your organizational personality, and implement a process to make it stick. Rather than scrambling to figure out how to handle an unexpected situation, virtual managers can consult the authors' advice on more than 30 topics, including:

time zones, flexible schedules, and privacy

hiring and interviews, onboarding, and professional development

team building, morale, and celebrations

interruptive pets and children, errands, and meetings from the bathroom.
From the mundane to the awkward, this book covers it all--because you will have to manage it from wherever you are!

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Ben Bisbee is a dreamer, a doer, a madman with focus; the good kind of dangerous. A multi-sector professional with more than 20 years of experience building successful and award-winning community and development programs for organizations of all shapes and sizes, Ben is currently the CVO at Rhinocorn, a design house for nonprofit innovation and advancement projects. Considering himself a social technologist, Ben is quickly becoming known for his work in virtual technology and methodologies, helping to build strengthened relationships between humans and the technology they use to work, play, and engage. Ben lives in northeast Ohio with his husband, Joe, and their 10 cats. Kathy Wisniewski, CVA, is a nonprofit professional who has been in the sector for nearly 20 years. Currently serving as the executive board administrator for the Histiocyte Society based in Pitman, New Jersey, she specializes in volunteer and board administration. She has a particular love for the international community as she scouts, plans, and executes the society's annual meeting in various locations around the world. Kathy is also a Certified Health Coach and owner of True and Lasting Wellness. After so many years in the nonprofit sector and seeing firsthand how professionals are in danger of burnout and in need of more balance in their lives, she chose to focus her business on primarily virtual health coaching for nonprofit professionals, helping them discover and reach their health and wellness goals. Both of these endeavors have honed Kathy's virtual management skills and given her a deep appreciation for the advantages of technology in being able to reach a larger audience in our virtual world. Kathy was born and raised in New Jersey and although she nowcalls northeast Ohio home, she will always consider herself aJersey girl.
