This week, Wayne is joined by writer and management journalist, Phil Whiteley, who is co-author with Susan Bloch of a new book published next month, How to Manage in a Flat World.

Wayne and Phil discuss how businesses today are often stretched across different locations and different time zones and increasingly communicate using online tools rather than face-to-face. All of which means that managers increasingly need to manage and motivate a team that often spans continents.

So just how can managers communicate and motivate in the flattened company and a flat world? How can they maintain a work-life balance when technology means they are always available? And do they ever need to meet anyone in person again?

The intro music to the Working Week is "The Warrior" by The EMP Project, used with permission of Blue Canoe Records.
