Learn moreThe age of the distributed team is upon us. Teams can now operate and collaborate from locations other than a central office, and events surrounding the 2020 COVID pandemic have thrown its practicality into sharp relief. Managing a team whose members are distributed across several locations requires a different mindset and will remain a must-have for all areas of business from this point forward.
Building and Managing High-Performance Distributed Teams explains what the distributed teams concept means to the future of your company. Author Alberto S. Silveira, Jr., leverages his industry knowledge to explore why the high-performance distributed team model is vital to the future of business, and explains how to build and maintain one through times of change. You will learn to differentiate between distributed teams, remote work, offshoring, and what each means in a modern context. Silveira also weaves in stories from his other life as a boater and sailor, using analogies and lessons gained from humankind's thousands of years of maritime adventure to illustrate the value of well-managed teams, and to also convey the importance of life-work balance in today's working world.
Whether you are a department head, a business owner, or a team leader, this book presents the no-nonsense knowledge you need now to chart your course for success.
Alberto S. Silveira, Jr., is a passionate, energetic, and hands-on executive with many years of experience in building teams. He believes strongly that people always come first and uses trust as the foundation of his success. He loves the art of gathering people as much as he likes being out on the water in his boat. Since his earliest years growing up in Brazil, Alberto has proven himself as a natural leader who leverages his ability to learn quickly and adapt to change, which has allowed him to provide technical and product vision that accelerates value within the organizations that he has worked for or consulted to. At the heart of all of his corporate activities is a blend of leadership, empathy, and creative and analytical abilities that he uses to guide his teams towards maximum effectiveness.
Chris Reilly has had a serendipitous career using his voice. After graduating from college in New York City, for a decade you could hear him reading the news on 1010 WINS ("All News, All the Time") and on WNYC, New York Public Radio, the top public radio station in America and nowadays a major podcast producer. A change of pace brought him back to the greenery of bucolic northern Connecticut, where he's originally from. In the wake of tedious stints in sales and marketing, audiobooks took the world by storm, and Chris didn't miss a beat. When he's not behind the microphone in his home studio, you might find Chris riding his scooter around town, drinking black coffee, caring for his Ragdoll cat, or solving a crossword puzzle.
