I found the presentation on Monday very interesting and informative but noticed it left out how to manage teamwork when so much collaboration and communication is going on over e-mail, twitter, facebook and the like.
There seem to no ground rules for this form of communication and at least in my case, I use it very often. Face to face interaction with group members is only usually during the “forming” stages or to practice a presentation. How do you listen effectively to someone’s ideas and not drop them over e-mail? It’s an entirely different context. Someone needs to capitalize on this!
I found a book which discussed the new community that technology essentially creates, “Team-Building Activities in the Digital Age” but I’m surprised that no one has created a set of guidelines! Video conferencing is extremely common in at least the engineering world and it’s an important part of modern business.
