Leading the Virtual Workforce

How Great Leaders Transform Organizations in the 21st Century

Praise for Leading the Virtual Workforce

"Strong leadership in the best of times is difficult to achieve, but in today's rapidly changing business environment, leaders are tested in many new ways. Once again, Lojeski has a fresh take on what it takes to lead today's widely dispersed workforce."
—Ellen Pearlman, former editor-in-chief, CIO Insight magazine

"Karen Lojeski has distilled the essence of the leader's role in 'managing' virtual teams. Her very relevant case stories illustrate that to be successful, the authentic leader must be able to create context and a collaborative lexicon for virtual knowledge sharing and must work diligently to build the social capital that is so vital to the success of virtual work groups. Karen's key contribution in this and her previous book, Uniting the Virtual Workforce, is the 'discovery' and clear articulation of her theory of the Virtual Distance Index, which leaders can use to measure and manage the process of virtual teamwork."
—Dave Davison, Chairman, Virtual Visuals Inc.

"I agree entirely with Karen when she says that today, more than ever, effective leaders are desperately needed. She skillfully defines the dislocation and demarcation of leaders from followers through the 'Virtual Distance,' and yet paradoxically calls leaders to 'stoke the flames of innovation and cooperation in a complex, interwoven world.' This gives rise to her exploration of the Virtual Distance Leader. As Karen points out, the twenty-first-century leader must, amidst the conditions of pressure, change, and transformation, bring human endeavor and action to value and meaning for others."
—Adrian Machon, Director, Executive & Leadership Development, GlaxoSmithKline

「引領虛擬勞動力」
「偉大領導者如何在21世紀改變組織」

「引領虛擬勞動力」受到讚譽

「在最好的時代中,強大的領導力就已經很難實現,但在今天快速變化的商業環境中,領導者在許多新的方式上受到考驗。再次地,洛傑斯基對於如何引領當今廣泛分散的勞動力有新的見解。」
—艾倫·珀爾曼,前《CIO Insight》雜誌主編

「卡倫·洛傑斯基已經提煉出領導者在『管理』虛擬團隊中的核心角色。她非常相關的案例故事說明,要取得成功,真正的領導者必須能夠為虛擬知識共享創造情境和協作詞彙,並且必須努力建立對於虛擬工作團隊成功至關重要的社會資本。卡倫在這本書和她之前的著作《結合虛擬勞動力》中的主要貢獻是她對於虛擬距離指數的『發現』和清晰陳述,領導者可以用它來衡量和管理虛擬團隊合作的過程。」
—戴夫·戴維森,Virtual Visuals Inc.主席

「當卡倫說現在比以往任何時候都更需要有效的領導者時,我完全同意。她巧妙地定義了領導者與追隨者之間的『虛擬距離』的脫節和劃分,然而矛盾地呼籲領導者在一個複雜、交織的世界中『激發創新和合作的火焰』。這引發了她對於虛擬距離領導者的探索。正如卡倫所指出的,21世紀的領導者必須在壓力、變革和轉型的條件下,為他人帶來價值和意義的人類努力和行動。」
—阿德里安·馬肯,葛蘭素史克執行和領導發展總監
