Empowering Team Members to Seek the North Star

Alberto S. Silveira

Chapter Chapter 9 in Building and Managing High-Performance Distributed Teams, 2021, pp 101-110 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Building and managing a successful distributed team requires more than communication technology and time management skills. This is also about dealing with a group of people who are physically separate from each other and who need to coexist socially and emotionally. They need to be aware of their company’s North Star as individuals and as a community, and they need to be empowered and feel motivated to constantly follow and contribute to it. The mechanical aspects described in the previous chapter go a long way toward making this possible, of course, but I feel that streamlined collaboration goes at least one step further than this. Streamlined collaboration means making life easier. It establishes and reinforces the process for people to communicate most effectively, so that they genuinely feel part of a community. Remote means being cut off from the main social body; distributed means the social body is the collective of all the distanced members.
