This week's team building tip #147 gets you thinking about the question "What should I know about how matrix management can work best?". This is a strategic question for any virtual team. Matrix management issues abound in many virtual teams, with team members being supported by, and having to liaise with, multiple leaders. There can be an art, and skillset required when moving into matrix management relationships, that all team members should consider.
Questions to think about as team members - individually and collectively are -
1. Who do I report to? On what issues?
2. What are their preferences in terms of - how they like to be communicated with? When they want issues flagged?
3. When is it appropriate to flag other issues with my other leaders or team members?
4. What support do I need? Where do I get resources?
