Abstract
Efficient participation in today's economy demands high reliance on effective leadership of technical and support teams whose members are scattered across many geographic boundaries. This paper presents research best practices, and case studies of this management challenge for successfully leading from a distance. The research reveals a core set of essential leadership skills that simultaneously meet the needs of the dispersed, "out of sight" people while they achieve targeted project results.
