It seems like every organization is faced with this scenario and it differs greatly from how organizations managed teams and resources 20 years ago. In today’s world of global sales organizations, support organizations, CEOs, and everyone in between will manage resources who are not co-located with the rest of the team members they are working with on projects and company initiatives. While the scenario of managing dispersed teams is more the norm now than the exception, it is not without it’s challenges and it’s own set of ‘best practices’. If one hopes to be successful in overseeing dispersed teams and leading them on tasks and projects – especially customer-facing projects, then there are a few key concepts to keep in mind in order to collaborate and communicate successfully.

The number of Millennials entering the workforce is continuing to grow annually. Their new thoughts, ideas, values, and approach to work is driving a significant change in Corporate America. The most common problem that I see Millennials facing today is that they’re not prepared for the demands of Corporate America as they’re coming out of college/university. The college/university system is set-up to create a “roadmap” of classes and activities required to complete your degree. Unfortunately, Corporate America isn’t built on this premise. You have to learn how to and, in some cases, how NOT to in order to be successful!
