Radical RealTime

Become a collaborative communicator and work successfully across projects, teams, platforms and boundaries. Engage effectively in this new, harmonious way to work by gaining a deeper understanding of:

eadership is about how you “show up.”  In other words, it’s how we act and behave in everyday situations that define our leadership persona.

how do we “show up” as leaders in a world where work is increasingly done on a mobile phone or tablet, or using a video chat, web conference or Telepresence?

Mobility is the new IT frontier, and the race is on to fully reap the potential benefits. To do so, CIOs (and the technology companies that serve them) will need to address challenges and concerns so that they can deliver a set of secure and reliable services in an environment of constant complexity and change.

Leverage "swift trust."

Pro-actively build interpersonal trust.

Communicate with predictability.

Schließlich müssen die Mitarbeiter virtueller Teams ebenso einbezogen, motiviert und informiert werden wie jene im traditionellen Büro, weil sie sonst leicht im digitalen Jenseits vergessen werden.

Virtuelles Arbeiten ist daher häufig einsames Arbeiten. Es verlangt mehr Selbstdisziplin, mehr Zuverlässigkeit, mehr Vertrauen und Kommunikationsbereitschaft.

The modern workplace isn’t a workplace at all. It’s a way of connecting - a way of collaborating with people you may never actually meet.

We like to give people the freedom to work where they want, safe in the knowledge that they have the drive and expertise to perform excellently, whether they at their desk or in their kitchen.

Working life isn't 9-5 any more. The world is connected. Companies that do not embrace this are missing a trick.

Also: Ich finde das Buch vor allem interessant, um dort Anregungen nachschlagen zu können für den Aufbau  & die Moderation eines virtuellen Teams.

“virtual teamwork”- interacting using technology; has its advantages and disadvantages over “actual teamwork” – interacting in person. As a manager, you have to decide how to leverage the good parts and mitigate the bad parts.

successful collaborations don't have to happen only on a movie set; they can occur in virtual environments too. But the trick is to pro-actively remove the barriers to collaboration.
