#51 "Crafting Environments for Distributed Teams" with Jim Benson and Mark Kilby

Perspectives of Change

Welcome to “Crafting Environments for Distributed Teams” in conversation with Jim Benson and Mark Kilby.
Distributed teams have been around for a long time. I’ve been working with globally distributed teams since around 1999. I’ve personally witnessed firsthand the evolution of distributed teams and the challenges and opportunities these have presented along the years.I’ve recently had conversations with other practitioners and leaders who focus on 2 key things. 1. Managing the system and not micro-managing people, 2. Intentionally crafting the right environment for their teams to be successful.
For teams to be successful, the environment has to enable that. It’s about continuously improving the whole system and not just a 1 time thing.
Today, in conversation with practitioners and thought-leaders Jim Benson and Mark Kilby I’m hoping to unravel how they enable crafting environments for distributed teams.
