I read an interesting guide about team productivity (attached) which talks about distributed teams, the importance of collaboration and how to achieve it. It highlights some of the challenges I think we’ve all felt at one point or another and some tips and tricks for overcoming them. I particularly like the way it highlights the difference between the people that do the work and the people that spend all of their time in meetings, both are important but forcing a communication style is unproductive, working out how best to collaborate with different types of people is key.
