Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you episode
091 of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode:  This
episode is about virtual teams. Many of us are part of virtual
teams and we have felt the pain of virtual teams that don’t work
well. Virtual teams are becoming more common in organizations and
especially product management and innovation where the product team
is often scattered across multiple time zones. I found someone who
has worked with and learned from hundreds of virtual teams. He is
currently the PMO manager at Cisco Systems, where he leads virtual
teams all around the world. He is also the author of two Amazon
best-selling books. The first one is Influencing Virtual
Teams: 17 Tactics That Get Things Done with Your Remote Employees.
His most recent book is Don’t Reply All: 18 Email Tactics That
Help You Write Better Emails and Improve Communication with Your
Team. His name is Hassan Osman. In the interview we focus on:
the nature of virtual teams,building trust, andwhat you need to do
to run an effective virtual team meeting.
