<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p></p> <p>The age of the distributed team is upon us. Teams can now operate and collaborate from locations other than a central office, and events surrounding the 2020 pandemic have thrown its practicality into sharp relief. Managing a team whose members are distributed across several locations requires a different mindset and will remain a must-have for all areas of business from this point forward.</p><p><i>Building and Managing High-Performance Distributed Teams</i> explains what the <i>distributed teams</i> concept means to the future of your company. Author Alberto S. Silveira Jr. leverages his industry knowledge to explore why the high-performance distributed team model is vital to the future of business, and explains how to build and maintain one through times of change. You will learn to differentiate between distributed teams, remote work, offshoring, and what each means in a modern context. Silveira also weaves in stories from his other life as a boater and sailor, using analogies and lessons gained from humankind's thousands of years of maritime adventure to illustrate the value of well-managed teams, and to also convey the importance of life-work balance in today's working world.</p><p>The book analyzes team management strategies from some of the great successes and failures in recent years so that you can learn from the experiences of others. <i>Building and Managing High-Performance Distributed Teams</i> is your definitive guide for building a dynamic distributed team, using collaboration technology to attract and engage the most important element of any business--your people.
