Making Remote Work #02 - Mark Mortensen (INSEAD)

#remoteteams #remoteleadership #distributedworkHow can we define a modern team? What makes them effective? How should we manage remote teams? Can they be as productive as a collocated team? How about managing multiple distributed teams? How can we best solve remote conflicts? Join Mark Mortensen and me as we connect research with practice and provide answers to these burning questions.Mark Mortensen is an Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. He is co-directing the Emerging Leaders in a Digital Age program.His area of expertise is organizational collaboration, with an emphasis on two increasingly prevalent ways of organizing that do not fit traditional models of team dynamics: globally distributed (virtual) and project-based work. In his research, he has investigated the nature of conflict in distributed collaborations and its relationship to identity, context, and communication; the impact of dispersion structure – in the form of balance, imbalance, and isolation – on collaboration dynamics; and the effects of first-hand experience – gained through site visits and expatriate assignments – on trust. He has also explored the interpersonal effects of working in multiple, partially-overlapping, fluidly-shifting projects, developing a fundamentally new model of collaboration.MAKING REMOTE WORK - is a limited series led by the ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN COMMUNITY and hosted by SKILLS FOR MARS. It is a public service video-podcast in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will host 20+ researchers and practitioners in the field of distributed work. They will share their insights and knowledge to support companies and employees who are making this transition.Subscribe to Skills for Mars: www.youtube.com/skillsformarsSupport the Skills for Mars podcast?https://www.skillsformars.com or https://www.patreon.com/skillsformars https://podhero.com/dashboard/show/474530/ (register, follow & support podcast)- LinkedIn @skills for mars- Facebook @skillsformars- Instagram @skillsformars- Twitter @skillsformarsFor more information on Iulia Istrate: https://www.iuliaistrate.com/home
