Nicolas Bergeret, HR Director of EDC Paris Business School: “Everything has to be formalised”: the challenge of managing geographically dispersed teams
This article in Courrier Cadres analyses the complex challenges of managing geographically dispersed teams, a way of working that fosters employee autonomy but amplifies the risks of miscommunication and isolation. In this context, Nicolas BERGERET (HR Director of EDC Paris Business School) argues that it becomes essential to “formalise everything” to make up for the lack of informal exchanges and the loss of weak signals. In his view, managers must set a clear framework, schedule regular check-ins and put every objective down in black and white, making the managerial function almost scientific.
