Friends, I’m really excited to announce the release of my first book today, Can you hear me now: Working with global, distributed, virtual teams.
Here’s the abstract from the back cover:
Today’s work world has radically changed. Whether video chatting with China, or taking a call from home, more and more professional work is no longer in-person. Often, this yields frustration and misunderstanding. However, a deeper look reveals some surprises:
- Everyone is doing it, and not just for costs
- Many organizations are thriving with it
- Most pain points have simple work-arounds
This handy guidebook will walk you through tips and benefits for working with people outside your office.
This is the synthesis of researching today’s trends, together my colleagues personal stories, along with my own experiences working abroad. I’ll post later about the mind-blowing MiniBuk format, but the topic is relevant and important to today’s work leaders.
Right now, the ONLY way you can get a copy of this book is to attend one of my talks or training workshops. So, anyone who comes to my conference talk today at 4:45pm in MR391 will get a free copy.
Again, so much to talk about with respect to this topic and the book project itself, but I wanted to first get the word out about the launch today.
