## **Assignment Directions:**

Best Practices Guide: Optimizing Distributed Team Performance

Students will create a best practices guide (5-6 pages) for optimizing performance in remote or hybrid teams. **This is not an ESS.**  The guide should cover key areas such as communication tools and techniques, strategies for maintaining team cohesion, and leadership practices that foster productivity and well-being. Students should use real-world examples and contemporary research to support their recommendations. Additionally, they will present their guide in a virtual workshop format to simulate training for managers.

**Note from Prof. Elida:**  Consider this assignment as creating guidance in a Word document and delivering training to managers through a PowerPoint presentation. The final submission is two documents.

Here are examples of guides:
