This revised second edition presents 15 years of data on Virtual
Distance metrics and their predictive impact on organizational
success factors shedding new light on how to correct for
communication challenges that often show up as a foggy set of
digital disconnects where the vitality of the virtual workforce
often gets lost in transmission. This still-evolving Digital Age
conundrum continues to present new complications. The rise of
remote work which rests on an increasing reliance on electronic
communication and the overall growth of virtual interactions has
led to the escalation of a phenomenon called Virtual Distance.
Virtual Distance, which influences our behavior through three
components Physical Distance, Operational Distance, and Affinity
Distance affects not only how we relate to others thousands of
miles away but even to co-workers sitting right next to each other!
Perhaps even more problematic, Virtual Distance causes measureable
malfunctions in teamwork, innovation, leader effectiveness and
overall performance. But it doesn't have to be this way. The Power
of Virtual Distance offers specific, proven and predictable
solutions that can reverse these trends and turn Virtual Distance
into a unification strategy to capture untapped competitive
advantage. Surprised? The Power of Virtual Distance, 2nd Edition is
a must-read for leadership who want to understand the true and
quantifiable costs of the virtual workplace. For the first time
ever, readers can take the guesswork out of managing the virtual
workforce by applying a mathematical approach derived from the
extensive Virtual Distance data set: The Virtual Distance Ratio.
The Virtual Distance Ratio can precisely pinpoint the particular
impacts of Virtual Distance on the organization's critical success
factors. Beyond business metrics, Virtual Distance solutions also
detail ways to restore meaningfulness and well-being into people's
experience of work, enhancing life lived in the Digital Age. The
