Synopsis

Keep your life and your team tethered while working in your virtual environment.

Your team is not available to meet regularly face-to-face. You rely on technology to communicate and collaborate. While bringing you together, technology also separates. Work in a virtual environment can bring isolation, fragmentation, and that feeling of being distant.

TECHnically Connected draws from research, interviews of those in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors, and over 15 years of personal leadership experience to bring you practical insights that will help your team thrive without the drive. The virtual environment creates new challenges to the typical elements of teaming. Warren reflects on what it means to work virtually and unpacks the critical insight that when you are separated, "how" you work as a team is even more important than "who" is on the team. With practical examples from his experience leading a Christian non-profit agency, Warren shows you how to build trust, work through conflict, lead meetings and bridge cultures while working from a distance.

About the Author

For the past 15 years Warren has been leading and working with virtual teams. Prior to that he and his wife Dorothy lived and worked in Japan for over 15 years with SEND International. In 2004 he took up the role of International Director for that organization. With Christian work spanning more than 20 countries and the belief that leaders should be located in the regions for which they have responsibility, virtual teams are his reality. What's not virtual is his wonderful marriage to Dorothy, and the blessings of their three boys and two daughters-in-law. When not behind his computer or on a plane, Warren enjoys a variety of outdoor sports and indoor table games!
