Bridging the Distance: Virtual Teams On the Road to Results
An increasingly pervasive workplace reality is the amount of teamwork that must be accomplished virtually. In this age of globalization and transnational business, teams made up from geographically dispersed workforce are faced with the critical challenge of achieving results in an effective and timely manner. Whether a formal team or a loosely organized project team, a virtual team will only achieve its goals if its members have the key skills necessary to successfully function as a virtual team member.
BRIDGING THE DISTANCE: VIRTUAL TEAMS ON THE ROAD TO RESULTS is a 17-minute video program based on Debra Dinnocenzo's highly-praised book, 101 Tips for Telecommuters (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc.). The video combines Debra's overview of key learning points with a dramatic case study. The video allows you to experience a virtual team that learns and uses the seven skills critical for virtual team success.
These skills are:
Know and nurture your team
Stay in touch with co-workers Be creatively accessible
Master effective interaction skills
Distance delegate to deliver results
Reach agreements that foster commitment and collaboration
Establish a foundation of trust
You'll also learn to address the dynamics of virtual team relationships, understand the communication challenges these teams face and to develop the creative solutions remote teams must employ to achieve superior performance.
A virtual team pulls together the feeling of the team effort. Team building and workteams can be used to great advantage amd self directed workteams whether real or virtual can work miracles.

Using the concept of climbing as a metaphor that can be applied to the workplace, viewers will learn that you may be able to climb pretty high on your own, but— especially if you run into a problem— it takes team to get to the top.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
To identify what type of climber you are and why
To consider the potential hazards of climbing alone
To understand the importance of having the right tools and support for your climb
To appreciate the benefits of climbing with a team
I hope you enjoy this program, but mostly I hope you learn something about teamwork and the importance of using the right equipment when "climbing."
Climb and don't give up... just remember to take a team.

Narrated by Dr. Margaret Wheatley, Twelve Angry Men: Teams that Don't Quit uses selected clips from the classic movie starring Henry Fonda and a stellar supporting cast. Twelve Angry Men presents a vivid example of a team fighting its way to success. In scene after scene, we witness the intense interactions among members of a jury in a murder case. Charged by the judge to "do your duty," these jurors must work together as a team in order to determine whether the accused is guilty or not guilty.

According to Dr. Pat Heim in this customer-requested sequel to THE POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE, men and women grow up in different cultures, learning different lessons about what it means to be a leader and what it means to be a team player. The hitch is that the rules of these cultures are typically invisible and these invisible rules are the cause of many misunderstandings as men and women work together on teams.
