Worldwide, companies like yours are rapidly adopting a new business model: the virtual office, where team members use technology to break down geographic boundaries and collaborate on projects from around the globe. New ways of doing business require fresh new approaches to management, and this is particularly true when managing IT resources that may be located almost anywhere. . .from Baltimore to Bangalore. Managing Without Walls shows managers like you how to leverage the virtual business model for maximum effectiveness. With it, you will learn special techniques for being successful at managing, coaching, and developing team members in this new and exciting, but challenging, environment.

Researchers tell us that 80 percent of human communication is non-verbal, but this valuable "face time" is lost in a virtual team setting.

The authors discuss at length the management and communication issues you will face. Then, they explain how to conquer those issues and share proven methods to handle virtual teams. With this practical advice, aspiring as well as existing virtual managers will acquire the skills and tools they need to be successful in today's new business reality.
