Terence Brake is a highly respected author and professional development specialist based in the USA. As a colleague in the industry, I would like to recommend Terry's latest book : "Where in the World is my Team?" This an excellent publication for anyone trying to get a handle on how to be part of an effective global virtual team. Terry has a unique gift of articulating powerful business principles in a creative, humourous and insightful  way. This is a must read! 

Terry specializes in the human challenges of globalization, organizational strategy and design, cross-cultural management, global leadership, global teamwork, and futures thinking.

He has designed, developed and facilitated numerous professional development programmes for clients in N. America, Europe, and Asia. In 1994 he was awarded the ASTD International Professional Practice Area Research Award.

Terry has authored or co-authored several books on global management. You might also want to check out one of his earlier publications, "The Global Leader." Someone once said to him "Creative writing has no place in business." His answer: "Thanks. I'll take that as a challenge!" The result: Where in the world is my team?
