I'm not going to be talking about my fantasy basketball team....sorry. In fact, I have something a little more interesting to talk about.
When reading "How to Pick Your Million Dollar Crew" and "Collaboration Tools are Ready for the Battlefield", I was surprise to find out the key players of teams and how they can be connected together by the internet to form strong virtual teams.
The first article made it clear that one shouldn't pick a teammate they know, but instead have pick a teammate that has unique talent or personality that differs from the group. Also, the smaller the group the more fluid the transfer of information.
The second article stressed that as long as virtual teams exist, the location of individuals becomes insignificant. Personally, I'm not a fan of virtual teams because of the lack of clarity and emotions that sometimes can not be stressed over distances.
Overall, interesting reads. ESPECIALLY "How to Pick Your Million Dollar Crew"
That's all for this week.
Stay tuned next week. CHANDOO OUT!!

In order for a virtual team to be successful, it’s important to have the right mix of talents and skills. For example, if all the team members are “big picture” visionaries, then nothing will get done. Similarly, if everyone were bums, then no one would care if anything gets done.
ReplyDeleteThough it may seem hilarious, Samantha is right. Without the right mix, the group lacks creativity.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be hard to assemble the perfect team especially in a virtual environment. There are so many intangibles with peoples personalities that it may be hard to find out without having met them in person. As Samantha said you could end up with people that are all the same or even people that are so different that they can't operate well together.
