Problem
You are the manager of a small team of 11 software developers who have been working together successfully for three years. Seven of the employees are in your office, while the other 4 are in a time zone 7 hours behind you. Your company has decided that to cut costs, all employees will now work remotely. You have worked hard to build and maintain a positive work environment for your staff and you pride yourself on employing positive OB techniques. You have been given ample budget to purchase needed distant technologies to keep the team high functioning. Explain how you would work to employ the same OB tactics with a remote team. Include examples of how other organizations have successfully - or unsuccessfully - transitioned in-office OB to remote OB.
