Folge #0009: Remote Teamwork

Eine ganz praktische Folge: Wie funktioniert Teamwork, wenn man ständig unterwegs ist?
Wir gehen ins Detail, zum Beispiel:

• Warum Christoph lieber 30x am Tag telefoniert als E-Mails zu schreiben
• was bei Florian die Bundeswehr und T-Shirt-Größen mit einem internen Briefing zu tun haben
• wie wir das Meiste als Telefonkonferenzen rausholen

Zum Schluss dann noch ein Ausflug zum Extrempunkt: Wie wäre es, komplett Remote zu arbeiten? Wer kann das eigentlich, und welche Beispiele gibt es dafür? Da dürfen natürlich Matt Mullenweg von Wordpress und die Macher von Basecamp nicht fehlen.

Die Shownotes gibt es wie immer unter TSL.fm/9.

Und wie immer freuen wir uns wie Bolle über viele Sternchen auf iTunes, wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat! Wenn ihr Grund zum Nörgeln habt, nutzt lieber unsere Kommentarfunktion ;-)
