In today’s global economy, more and more people are working far from their fellow team members and leaders. Virtual teams have become a fact of life as talent becomes diffused across the world, the marketplace becomes global, and technology allows better communication. In this program, we examine what it takes to successfully work with, and lead, distanced teams.
