Sommario/riassunto

This is a book about leading dispersed teams-teams that are made up of people who don't work in the same geographical area. Such teams don't often meet face-to-face. Usually their members are separated by



time and distance, and they often bring different cultural views to bear on their work. Solving potential communication problems and devising processes for making decisions and managing conflict are challenges for leaders of dispersed teams. But before they can address those challenges, they need to analyze the support such a team will get from the organization as a whole.Dispersed teams
