David Birkam, a professional creative, shares his experiences and empirical research with us regarding how to successfully navigate virtual ad hoc work teams.
Being appointed to a project team can be challenging in a best case scenario.
But what about when these teams are comprised of individuals from several different work units with likely with no shared history who are then tasked with solving a complex, often emergent problem?
Want to complicate this further?
What about when these teams function fully in a co-located, virtual space?
David shares his insights and leaves us with insights related to building trust, the importance of co-leadership, and the potential of knowledge generation and sharing.
David Birkam is a Graphic Designer at Western Michigan University working in teaching and learning support in addition to a recent communication program graduate.
Until next time, communicate with intention and lead with purpose.
