Virtual Team Communication: Episode 2

In part two of the Cadence Podcast Series, "Virtual Team Communication", Connie Plowman illustrates the challenges in working with virtual teams when there becomes a disconnect between project manager and team member. "I can't really see what they're working on, they may be feeling that they're all alone," explains Plowman. "I want to make sure that we stay connected." Plowman outlines the key components to establishing a solid relationship with virtual team members, from showing appreciation for their efforts, to clearly defining responsibilities in communication. Most importantly, she addresses the key question: how to you manage effectively, without micromanaging in a virtual team environment.
