A proliferation of new technologies has lulled many into thinking that we actually have to think less about how we communicate. In fact, communicating and collaborating across time, distance, and cultures has never been more complex or difficult.

Written as a series of bulleted tips drawn from client experiences and best practices, Leading Effective Virtual Teams: Overcoming Time and Distance to Achieve Exceptional Results presents practical tips to help leaders engage and motivate their geographically dispersed project team members. If you're a leader of any type of virtual team and want to help your team members collaborate more effectively, then buy this book. You will learn how to:

Build trust and cultivate relationships, virtually, across your team
Design and facilitate virtual meetings that are focused and engaging
Influence without authority
Motivate and galvanize a virtual team for top performance
Blend asynchronous and synchronous communications for better virtual collaboration
Navigate cross-cultural and generational differences in the absence of vital visual cues
Assess skills, strengths, aptitudes, and preferences from afar
Handle other tough issues that can trip up virtual teams

The ideas in this book are based on Nancy Settle-Murphy's decades of experience working as a change management consultant, facilitator, and trainer for project teams around the world. Designed to be read section by section in any order, this book shares approaches and techniques to help you address some of the toughest challenges virtual team leaders face, including keeping team members engaged from afar.

She covers the gamut, from building trust to cross-cultural tripwires, in a way that will work for virtual teams, whatever their makeup.-Dr. Penny Pullan, Director, Making Projects Work Ltd.
