Sonsoles Morales, 100th Facebook follower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Earlier this month we offered a copy of “Making the Matrix Work,\u00a0Ho Matrix Managers Engage People and Cut Through Complexity”<\/a> – the latest book by business author Kevan Hall, a stress ball, and a copy of Speed Lead to the 100th person to like\u00a0our Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The winner was Sonsoles Morales, herself an executive coach: “I usually find myself at the intersection of matrix and cross-cultural challenges, or the diversity of global companies”.<\/p>\n

Since then our page has started to grow, and is becoming ever more engaged – we’re “Global Integration” if you’re trying to find us.<\/p>\n

We also have a new Twitter account dedicated to discussing virtual teams issues in isolation. It’s an experiment for us, and we’re keen to join the conversations, so do let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see us discuss: BeingVirtual<\/a>,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t forget our comment competition for spot prizes: calling leaders and HR people everywhere, faced with the cross cultural challenge that Kevan’s described, what would you do? Full question and answers that others have suggested: here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
