Virtual Leadership: Learning to Lead Differently

by Ghislaine Caulat, Mike Pedler (Foreword)

For at least two decades, people have been working together virtually, their interactions enabled and mediated by communication technology; based on years of research, this book summarizes what it takes to lead effectively in the virtual space. Arguing that becoming an effective virtual leader requires a deeper level of reflection—including questioning one’s sense of identity, relationships, trust, and power—this account offers valuable advice to those who want to improve their effectiveness as supervisors. This guide will interest HR professionals, consultants, managers, and virtual team members who want to become faster at developing and implementing strategies and cultivating learning and change globally.

Ghislaine explains how to lead virtual meetings. For those of us who already have ample experience with virtual leadership (I've been coaching and leading virtual teams across the globe for more than 20 years) it won't be an eyeopening experience. For newbies however, there are plenty of lessons learned to take advantage of. When you follow Ghislaine's advice (suggested to you as invitations) it will surely enhance your efficiency and effectiveness as a virtual leader without a shadow of a doubt.
