When we think about teamwork, I bet the first thing you think of is a bunch of people sitting around a table trying to solve a problem. The easel is in the corner of the room with brainstorming scetched all over it. There’s crumpled up paper in the wastebasket and a pot of coffee going.
The face of teamwork has changed. Today, teamwork occurs virtually more than in any other environment and the virtual realm changes all the rules. It changes the way leaders lead. It changes the way we collaborate. It puts a new emphasis on communication. Think about the way teamwork impacts your everyday life as you spend time online. Think about how we collaborate with others through blogs, through twitter, facebook, and tumbler. For example, I use twitter as a tool to gain knowledge from other writers about teamwork and leadership. Even wikipedia, tens of thousands of contributors collaborate virtually to deliver information. Teamwork occurs in virtual space without users or contributors even thinking about teamwork.
Having said that, its obvious that these social media tools present an opportunity like never before. An entirely new format of teamwork and collaborative working/learning. It’s time to rewrite the rules on teamwork.
