Advantages of virtual team

Compared with the traditional organizational form, virtual team has obvious advantages: (team operation agreement) can avoid the team from getting into trouble, because it clearly describes the relationship between the expected team members and their work and their responsibilities to the team. This steady progress eliminates the ambiguity and suspicion afterwards and makes the team work more efficient.

Team operation agreements mainly include the following categories:

Meeting agreement

Our meeting starts and ends on time.

◆ We try our best to arrange suitable meeting schedules for people in different time zones.

We consider holidays in different cultural backgrounds.

We respect and listen to what people say on the phone. We don't talk to more than one person at the same time.

Exchange; connect

We check email twice a day.

◆ We have a requirement that all emails are not allowed to scroll (at most one full screen).

We call the office once a day.

◆ We directly deal with conflicts with employees and try to solve problems.

◆ We give timely feedback and respect the sensitivity of different cultures.

◆ We attach importance to confidentiality.

decision

◆ We choose the appropriate process to make decisions.

We decide the decision makers.

We choose the appropriate program to solve this problem.

We are free to express our ideas.

We respect other people's opinions, and we decide who has the task.

We set achievable standards for the completion of tasks.

◆ We are willing to share information and knowledge. This organization, also known as the Executive Committee, Council or Coordination Group, plays multiple roles in the construction, maintenance and development of virtual teams. Before forming a virtual team, a project committee should be established to evaluate its feasibility. If feasible, the task of the program Committee will be changed to form a team design team, which is the most critical and important task of the program Committee. After the team is successfully established, its task is to maintain the current structure of the team, and as a provider of team resources, drive the team to operate effectively. Therefore, whether the program committee is effective or not plays a vital role in team performance.

To establish an efficient virtual team project committee, it is necessary to carefully select members. First of all, the scheme committee should include not only senior managers, but also some future team members of the human resources department, which can promote the participation of employees at all levels, improve the communication level and make decisions more effectively. Secondly, planning committee members should choose employees with creative thinking, who can put forward valuable opinions and ideas and communicate with employees at all levels in the organization. Peter drucker believes that team members must be regarded as partners, not subordinates. Partnership is an equal relationship, and it is also a relationship that both sides can benefit from. This relationship must be based on the recognition of the value of team members by the managers of virtual teams. Virtual is invisible and management is real. The most ideal way is to change the role orientation of employees, that is, from the role of employers to the role of "members". They should sign a "membership" agreement, enjoy the corresponding rights and responsibilities, and most importantly, participate in the management of the company team. The role of team builders has also changed to "investors".
