- Chapter 1 (“The Three Stages of Virtual Team Development”) of Managing Virtual Teams and the video on “Leading teams through stages of development” both emphasize the need for a long-term perspective on team growth. Considering your past experiences in teams, and drawing specifically on the issues from this chapter and video, what have been the most important things to consider at each stage of development (forming, storming, norming, performing)? What actions do you think are most important for group members (or the leader) to take during each phase in order to help the group progress?
- Chapter 2 (“Setting Up Your Virtual Team”) of Managing Virtual Teams provided several criteria for setting up your team. Think about teams you have been on in the past, virtual or otherwise. Considering the many criteria Zofi discusses in this chapter, which specific ones might have been lacking in your past teams that proved to be particularly detrimental? How can you work to include those criteria into your OMBA teams?
- Chapter 3 (“Context Communications”) of Managing Virtual Teams explored three particular types of challenges in virtual teams – environmental cues, medium, and relationships. The chapter also gave you two scenarios about Maria – Scenario A (for an on-site team) and Scenario B (for a virtual team). Pick one of the three challenges listed above and write about how that particular challenge can be used to explain the difference between the “two Marias.”
