Virtual Leadership: Secrets from the Round Table for the Multi-Site Manager

This is a wonderful book that lays out effective tools, techniques, and strategies for working with geographically diverse teams. This book is so appropriate for our virutal organization that my entire management team will have copies soon!

We loved this book so much that we have all our team members read it AND we give it away as sales gifts to potential clients.This book was so helpful and easy to read. It was unique because of the fabulous story it told (with a really cool twist of an ending) ... a how-to storybook for today's virtual world.I couldn't put it down, read it in one sitting and have benefitted from it every day since. It really helped me straighten out my virtual leadership nightmare. Thanks so very much!

First of all, I enjoy "instructional fiction" as conveyed in business quick-reads like "Virtual Leadership." This type of business novel is fun to read! Also, this contemporary business text covers an important topic in the age of virtual organizations and e-businesses -- how to establish and manage virtual teams. Enjoy!

I just finished reading this book today, and strongly recommend it to managers and project leaders who are struggling with the human side of how to make geographically distributed teams work. The lessons in this book are equally valid for achieving results with team members whether they are two floors or two time zones away.

This book does well in choosing a fictional vehicle to deliver an important message to managers of remote teams. There is a tendancy within the technology industry, and management in general, to think that VOICEMAIL, EMAIL, and WEB SITES etc. are in themselves the solution to managing staff spread across various workplaces. By drawing the comparison between a modern day project and King Arthur's building of Camelot, this book goes a long way to teaching the human element in making teams cohesive across cultural and geographic divides.
