b'Distributed Teams are never easy. It doesn\\u2019t matter if you are separated by one flight of stairs or 12 time zones. Forming and maintaining a cohesive, collaborative team that can support one another, consistently deliver, and continuously improve is always just a little bit tougher when you are not in the same physical space. \\n\\nThe pandemic has offered all of us plenty of \\u201copportunities\\u201d to find ways to improve how we form and function in a distributed way. But here\\u2019s the thing, even when you\\u2019ve been doing this stuff for years, it is tough. Experience can help guide you and show you some things to try to avoid, but each team is its own puzzle. \\n\\nIn this episode of the podcast, Mark Kilby has joined me to utilize the Five Lenses of Humane Management to talk about distributed teams. \\n\\nThere are three important things you need to know before you listen. \\n\\n1. Mark Kilby and Johanna Rothman wrote the book \\u201cFrom Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams: Collaborate to Deliver\\u201d. If you are looking for a tips on what makes distributed teams work, this book is an amazing resource.\\n\\n2. Mark and I are on a distributed team together with two other people. Collectively, we bring over 70 years of experience of not only working on teams, but in coaching others on how to do it well.\\n\\n3. We are struggling mightily\\n\\nDuring the interview, Mark and I unpack some of the things we\\u2019re experiencing in the forming storming stages of our distributed team. We share some of the insights and struggles we\\u2019ve had along the way. This interview is intended to offer a kind of retrospective/case study on challenges that even seasoned pros have when working remotely. For those of you who are having similar challenges, we want you to know that you are not alone and hopefully, one of the takeaways you\\u2019ll get from this interview is that even when you and your distributed team are struggling, there are probably some amazing things happening, you just need to keep an eye out for them and appreciate them. \\n\\nLinks from the interview\\nFrom Chaos to Successfully Distributed Agile Teams by Mark Kilby and Johanna Rothman\\u2028 https://amzn.to/3bPVDkT\\nThe Five Lenses of Humane Management Interview with Jim Benson https://bit.ly/3a2FBIe\\nLean Agile Visual Management https://www.modusinstitute.com/lavm\\n\\n\\nContacting Mark:\\u2028\\nWeb:\\xa0www.markkilby.com\\u2028\\nTwitter:\\xa0twitter.com/mkilby\\u2028\\nLinkedIn:\\xa0www.linkedin.com/in/mkilby/'
