- Title
Leadership Challenges in Global Virtual Teams: Lessons From the Field.
- Authors
Kerber, Kenneth W.; Buono, Anthony F.
- Abstract
This article focuses the effective management of a team where the members are scattered across the globe. A case study of a virtual team found that leaders can take some steps to counter the forces tending to fragment the team and undermine its effectiveness. These include making sure the team is working on issues its members find personally compelling; jointly defining and committing the team to an identity, goals and processes; managing performance with a process that recognizes the team members' routines and daily work; creating a lavish information flow; and binding the process with the leader's unmistakable commitment.
