Comments on: Virtual Teams article http://www.netdynam.org/2009/05/18/virtual-teams/ A Web 2.0 outgrowth of our study of group dynamics on the Internet Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:27:13 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: mike http://www.netdynam.org/2009/05/18/virtual-teams/#comment-347 mike Tue, 19 May 2009 10:44:07 +0000 http://www.netdynam.org/?p=903#comment-347 yeah, the competencies smack of boilerplate, all right. good ol' boilerplate. the stuff that keeps ships afloat. the stuff we use over and over again because it works. kinda reminds me of 'Numa Numa en Pointe'. Rules are broken best by those as know how to keep 'em. Ever see a Navy destroyer with a rooster-tail wake? It's a sight, I'll tell ya. one thing I noticed was that she does not post her her academic publications, which seems a shame. not on the open academic bandwagon, and obviously on tour for her book. forgivable, if not desirable. Have to agree with you that she tripped all over the 'much more important' statement. however, it was the previous paragraph that led me to post this. reading it reminded me that even when we butt heads we've still got each others back... oh, and I liked the opener about flexibility in swapping hats. I'll be paging through the book myself... let me know if you strike on anything useful.

Jill Nemiro is an academic so she has to publish.
