| Summary |
"This book shows you how to do it well. You'll learn from the experiences of a large cross-section of managers who have been in the front lines of this new managerial paradigm. Their job descriptions vary widely: they are sales managers, project team leaders, field-technician managers, executives of global businesses. They work for a broad range of companies, including Xerox, Hewlett-Packard, Weyerhaeuser, ARCO Exploration and Production, Sun Microsystems, Dell Computers and Proctor & Gamble. But all have had to learn to handle the fundamental problem that every distance manager faces: making sure you are getting peak performance from employees you rarely see face-to-face." "You'll also learn to master the technology that distance managers depend on: videoconferencing, Web conferencing, the daily flood of email, and more. Sooner or later this new leadership challenge will affect just about every manager in the country."--BOOK JACKET |
