Product Description
How do you know you're getting peak performance from people whom you manage at another location? How do you motivate and communicate with people who work off-site? How do you coordinate the responsibilities of virtual team? How do you lead people who don't report to you and may even work for another company? As the nature of the workplace changes, more and more managers are confronting these challenges. This is the first book that answers them."The Distance Manager" draws on the experiences of a cross-section of managers at every corporate level - men and women who themselves have been thrust into the challenging world of distance managing and who have learned to do a tough job well. Some are sales managers, some are field managers, some are production managers. They work for large Fortune 500 corporations and for small technology start-up companies. Now you can benefit from their experiences and hard-won wisdom as you discover the secrets of: inspiring and motivating individuals and teams from afar; coaching for peak performance via e-mail, the telephone, teleconferencing and videoconferencing; building a cohesive team comprised of workers in different locations; managing projects from a distance; using the Web to set up effective shared workplaces and files; leading people who don't report to you; keeping work on track and on time; and, much more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent practical text on issues of distance management, 26 Jul 2001
This book was easy to read. It is structured to allow you to dip in and out of the relevant chapters. I found it particularly useful as its focus is more on the behavioural / management skills of managing a remote team, rather than the use of technology in managing remote teams. (Though there are a couple of chapters on this) Whilst some of the skills of managing from a distance are no different to managing with your team close by, the book gives clear insights into the differences between the two. I liked it so much I am now buying copies to give to delegates on my Distance Management development programmes.
