Spurred by the rise of technology and globalization, there is a new face to the workforce – Virtual Teams. Today people routinely work with colleagues they do not see. But how to create and manage these teams is a skill that many leaders have not yet been trained for. How do managers establish rapport with employees across continents, time zones and cultural differences? Can a strong team be built from widely dispersed people who’ve never met? AIM®/Yael Zofi will answer these questions in our Managing Virtual Teams Blog.
