In a recent post about workshifting I mentioned that one of the impediments to wider adoption is a fear on the part of managers that they won’t be able to effectively manage their employees if they can’t reach out and touch them. If you’re a manager who is faced with managing workshifters or you’re a workshifter who would like to reassure your manager, there’s an interesting short interview with Michael Kroth coauthor of Managing the Mobile Workforce over at Workshifting.com.
There’s not a lot of information in the interview but there is a pointer to the book’s Web site and blog. The author of the post, the president of an employee training and organizational consulting firm, is highly complementary of the book. It looks like a valuable resource for someone trying to build a virtual team.
