Virtually Disastrous by Gary Thomas Pdf

How do you lead virtual teams to high performance? Globalisation is here to stay - yet no one is really prepared. Many teams tasked with managing globalisation are clearly out of their depth.

When the context becomes virtual, this all too often leads to management failure. This book describes the art of leading virtual teams in an entertaining style including practical tips, helpful suggestions, and numerous illustrative examples that span many industries and countries along the four core challenges of virtual team leadership today.
