Efficient participation in today's economy demands high reliance on effective
leadership of technical and support teams whose members are scattered across
many geographic boundaries. There are unique and distinctive requirements for
leadership attention in the virtual project team or remote management situation,
where individuals who share responsibilities for common goals reside in
geographically dispersed locations.
Key findings from both research and best practices across many industries
reveal that effective distance leadership includes the typical fundamentals for
leading people and managing resources in a traditional office environment.
However, difficulties in the traditional environment can be significantly
magnified in the virtual or remote situation. Difficulty with communicating;
working together; and producing high-quality, on-time results is typically
heightened by distance. Effective leaders need to quickly, confidently and
competently diagnose such issues and take deliberate actions to keep project
team relationships, productivity and outcomes on track. There is even more
emphasis on the use of appropriate communications skills to fit the needs of the
people and the situation.
