Distant Workers: Success Without Face-to-Face Contact

Description

Managing employees who are sitting in the cubes outside your office is hard enough. Now they are working from remote offices and from home, not to mention the other side of the planet. How’s a manager supposed to stay on top of things in these conditions? For managers and project leaders the need to pull together people who are not co-located brings with it a unique set of challenges. Due to the affects of globalization, the trend shows no signs of reversing itself.
