I've been waiting for a book like this and look forward to recommending it as a resource that can help improve the performance of our teams!" ―KATHLEEN MCGUIRE, manager organizational development, Bayer Healthcare HR Global Leadership Development

Product Description 
A timely and hands-on resource informed by lessons learned from Fortune 500 CEOs and executives 
Leading at a Distance provides executives with the necessary skills to successfully lead in the new virtual workplace, backed by the research and expertise of global leadership firm Spencer Stuart. Although working remotely is not new, the global pandemic has placed virtual work at the center of everyday life. And it has thrust workforce strategies to the core of business operations globally. As the shift towards large-scale virtual work continues to grow and become a permanent fixture―by some estimates, 30% of the workforce will be working virtually – leaders must understand how to build virtual work environments that foster connected, engaged, and high-performing teams. Although some forward-thinking companies and not-for-profit organizations have made significant investments in technology and virtual collaboration, many others have simply joined the “Zoom culture” without fully appreciating what it takes to operate effectively at a distance on a sustained basis. 
Leading at a Distance is a timely, research-based, and highly practical guide for developing and implementing strategies for conducting high-impact virtual work, building trust, and enhancing team unity. Designed to help leaders shape organizational culture remotely, this must-have resource demonstrates how to conduct virtual onboarding for senior leaders, build top teams from a distance, manage accountability in the new virtual environment, and much more. A hands-on toolkit filled with compelling examples, expert insights, and invaluable advice, this book:\nProvides clear guidance on establishing effective leadership in the virtual workplace 
Offers practical approaches for establishing strong relationships, increasing employee engagement, and coaching from a distance 
Addresses ways to keep geographically dispersed team members aligned and accountable 
Illustrates creative ideas for boosting team morale 
Features an overview of the unique challenges facing leaders in the virtual workplace 
Discusses often-overlooked topics such as virtual hiring and onboarding\nLeveraging the authors' in-depth research and consulting experience, Leading at a Distance is required reading for anyone needing to adapt to a virtual way of working and develop their virtual leadership skills to maximize organizational effectiveness and performance. 
 Review 
“It’s always a challenge for leaders to stay nimble as technology upends the old way of doing business, and the era we’re living in is no different. But they’ll find lots of great advice in Citrin and DeRosa’s timely new book – a primer for how to lead in a flexible and dynamic work environment.”– David Solomon, CEO, Goldman Sachs 
“We’re living in an unprecedented time that requires a new leadership at every level. Whether you’re running a company or a country, there is no playbook for how to engage people and drive meaningful action. But, through work like Leading at a Distance, we can learn from each other and find new ways of working, living, and leading.”– Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO Verizon 
“Remote work is here to stay; now comes the hard work of making it sustainable and inclusive. Leading at a Distance offers a roadmap. Jim and Darleen – both experts in their own right – cull timely research and insights from a who’s-who of business leaders into a compact and actionable guide that you’ll turn to again and again.”– Rachel Thomas, CEO, LeanIn.Org 
“Virtual, or remote, leadership is a timely topic. Fortunately for us, authors Citrin and DeRosa began their research 15 years earlier, and their wisdom will remain with us for decades to come.”– Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft 
“Leading at a Distance is remarkably timely, a much-needed tool for any business leader in a post-COVID world. You’d be foolish not to read this book. Citrin and DeRosa not only help adapt your organization to successful distance work.
