In this episode, Kevin Garber, CEO & Founder of ManageFlitter shares some great insights into his own personal journey with virtual teams, including the benefits of tapping into global talent pools vs local talent pools.

After developing ManageFlitter to satisfy a need of his own, Kevin has grown a highly successful company that has been built on the notion of ‘The quality of your team is everything!’.

Some of the areas covered include:

The quality of your team determines so much about the success of your company
Why communication is so important, both written and face-to-face, within a virtual team
Don’t make assumptions when it comes to ‘thinking’ you know what someone else wants or needs
Souring the right people for your team and ensuring they are a good fit, both for the job and the culture of your team
