TOPIC #1
“Share your experience with teams in the workplace or in your classes. Have you experienced any of the issues discussed in the articles? Incorporate specific references to at least two of the assigned articles in your response.”
and
Topic #2
The authors of the assigned articles make several recommendations for successful virtual/global teams. Discuss these practices. Have you had any experience with some of them working or not working? Look ahead to the team project in this class in Week 12 and the deliverables that lead up it. How will you implement the practices in your virtual team for this class? Incorporate specific references to at least two of the assigned articles in your response.
Also, what is your assessment of the best practice suggestions regarding privacy at work that I made in the January, 2013, issue of Cosmopolitan magazine (http://ezproxy.umuc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=f5h&AN=86248171&site=eds-live&scope=site)? How do they relate to working in virtual teams versus a physical environment (i.e., does privacy play a role at work when working in virtual teams)?
The article states, “Your boss wants to know just enough to like you, but not too much that it makes her feel like she has a personal relationship with you outside work,” explains workplace-relationship expert Courtney Anderson.
Even if your boss is supercool and talks to you about her personal life, you shouldn’t take it as a sign you’re completely free to spill. Anderson suggests a rule of thumb: Mirror half what she does. If your boss shares two personal stories a day, you can share one. If she only gets personal once a week, save your stories for every other week.
And never bring stuff up randomly; drop your info right after your boss gives you her scoop. “That way, your story flows right into the progression of the conversation, so it seems casual and natural,” Anderson says. Leave the really heavy stuff (an alcoholic mom or a bipolar boyfriend) for your friends — with one exception: If what’s happening in your life is affecting your performance in a big way, tell her…but be vague. “Just say, ‘I thought you should know that my family is going through a rough spot, so I may have to be out here and there, but I won’t let anything slide,'” Anderson explains. She’ll appreciate the information, and you’ll come off as responsible for coming forward.””
