Virtual Teams Across Cultures: Small Talk to Cultural Competence with Theresa Hollema | TNN41
Globalization has become part of the modern world, but many are yet to understand how it affects their lives. Communicating with other people thousands of miles away is a breeze. You can even find out about events happening around the world from the comfort of your home. All you need is an internet connection. Theresa Hollema, author of the book Virtual Teams Across Cultures: Create Successful Teams Around the World, would agree that distance is not a barrier anymore.
In this episode of The New Nomad, our hosts Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski, together with Theresa, talked about the pros and cons of having a globally located team. They discussed the strategies to build camaraderie within the team and how to make every workday more fun with activities created for a culturally diverse team. This episode is extremely helpful for everyone working remotely to understand the challenges and create workarounds for a more fun and productive team environment. Truly worth listening to!
