IDEAS ONPOINT Do you know whether your virtual teams are optimizing their effectiveness? OnPoint is launching a new study to identify the barriers that hinder virtual team performance, strategies that lead to virtual team success, as well as the critical leadership characteristics required to lead from a distance. |
In our study on virtual teams, we found that leadership was the most important factor to virtual team success. The leadership characteristics required for virtual team leaders are different than the skills necessary for traditional face-to-face leadership. Therefore, it is important to understand whether virtual team leaders possess the appropriate characteristics to lead from a distance. Our Virtual Team Leadership Inventory, which is based on the characteristics of successful virtual team leaders, provides useful feedback to help team leaders enhance their performance. This online tool can be administered as a self-assessment for the team leader. However, we have found it particularly useful to solicit feedback (through a brief online survey) from team members and/or key stakeholders who work closely with the team. Together, these results provide meaningful information for virtual team leaders to target their performance needs. When this assessment tool is used in conjunction with our Leading Virtual Teams: Best Practices For Managing From a Distance skill building module, it is completed prior to the session to enhance the learning experience. |
