Overview
This book, with the legendary leader King Arthur, shows you how to transform a geographically distributed team that's falling short of its goals, into a "virtual work group" that gets results.Synopsis
You lead a management team with dynamite potential, but not all of its members report to you or work at the same location. Now, like the thousands of managers who have made this unique business novel a word-of-mouth bestseller, you're about to discover an invaluable secret: how to transform a geographically distributed team that's falling short of its goals into a "virtual work group" that gets results. Your guide will be none other than the most legendary leader of all time, King Arthur of Camelot. Through the colorful stories of wise Merlin, gracious Lancelot, and the powerful sword Excalibur, King Arthur shows you how to manage from afar -- and turn a diverse and dispersed team into a winning one. You'll learn how to:
- Identify and overcome your three worst enemies -- geography, isolation, and history;
- Build your leadership power base by accessing the power each "knight" already has;
- Establish trust and unite people who don't share a common work space;
- Leverage resources across distance;
- Use technology as the bridge across your team's physical (and emotional) distances ... and as the sword and shield to conquer the business environment of the third millennium.
