Leading Virtual Teams

Overview

Why do we need to work in the same building? That’s the question many companies now ask. The use of virtual workers is exploding in popularity. And the potential benefits are clear. Workers gain a better work/ life balance, while having the freedom to do great work. And employers reduce their overheads, while creating a happier, more productive workforce.
