James Raymond…

Why is it that we execute our free speech, and yet we still get verbally slammed for speaking our mind?…

Right on, Joseph! Geographically distributed teams can be as cohesive as centralized ones. It just takes a little thought and effort to be inclusive. I manage a department of 20 people located in 10 different cities across the US, and we all work with fellow team members who are even more geographically diverse than we are. We aren’t perfect, but we do function as a coherent team and enjoy working for a company that allows the flexibility to live where you are and can get the job done, not one that requires everyone to be at the corporate office. We love it and have done this successfully for many years. It works.

This was full of great information. I do want to share one other idea for consideration: “Drinks together.”

I would recommend this supportive activity for anyone geographically distant trying to maintain friendships with coworkers. This idea started when one of my co workers and I moved into parallel tracks onto opposite sides (Support/development)in the middle of a new product implementation that left us geographically distant, so we took to having “Drinks together.” Although our employer was unaware, we continued our friendship by calling on business line during scheduled non-business “happy hours.” The coworker friendship continued, unconstrained by distance or drink choice, as we maintained our core understanding of each other with minimal talk during this time of “work”, but rationalized that it continued to “grease” our work relationship accordingly until layoffs finally seperated us.
