Leading Teams – Leading and Managing Effective Virtual Teams – 12 minutes

Organizations are changing, and so are our offices. The new age millennials are shifting toward the virtual world. More and more organizations use virtual teams to meet corporate goals. This has created the need to determine how best to manage and lead these virtual groups.

In this lesson, you will learn to effectively guide teams that they rarely see face-to-face.
