Through case studies, models, and guiding principles, readers learn how to:

• Create resilient team cultures across distance, time zones, and cultural boundaries

• Build systems that maintain momentum and continuity in complex global environments

• Lead asynchronous workfl ows without sacrifi cing accountability or human connection

• Develop trust, equity, and participation in diverse, technology-enabled ecosystems

Whether you manage a remote enterprise, global PMO, or international engineering program, this book equips you with the tools to turn distributed teams into cohesive, high-performing global organizations.
