The authors' first book on the topic, published in 2008, had to be devoted to explaining how to navigate this new style of working. As is often the case, what was once groundbreaking has now become mainstream and routine. Yet, challenges remain, both in how to reap the benefits while avoiding the pitfalls of virtual distance. In The Power of Virtual Distance, Second Edition, the authors address these challenges head on with data from more than 55 countries and over 1,400 case studies across 36 industry sectors. This book is required reading for anyone trying to understand the continuing evolution of the workplace in the digital age.\" —IRVING WLADAWSKY-BERGER, IBM VP Emeritus; MIT Research Affiliate \"Lojeski and Reilly bring us something that readers of business books so rarely get—no nonsense, practical guidance built from rigorous predictive metrics. The Power of Virtual Distance, Second Edition pinpoints how to manage both real, psychological, and emotional distance when interacting with digital communication technology—between people sitting thousands of miles apart or people simply sitting right across the same table! It gives all of us who struggle working with talent that's mediated by electronic devices—no matter where they're located—a roadmap for how to do this right!\" —PATRICK J. MCKENNA, author of First Among Equals New research on the hidden costs of virtualization and how to manage them The world of work is becoming increasingly virtual. This means much more than the rise of remote work, which comes with its own set of costs and benefits. The challenges of the Digital Age give rise to Virtual Distance—a new phenomenon that profoundly changes how we think and feel about the relationships to each other, ourselves, and the world around us. The transition to a \"virtual\" workforce—whether in-person or remote—creates real and quantifiable challenges to collaboration and innovation. The Power of Virtual Distance, Second Edition shows—through new findings from more than 1,400 studies spread across 55 countries that traverse more than 36 industry sectors over the past 15 years—that there are substantially increasing and damaging costs to companies as well as people's personal sense of purpose, as we move deeper into the depths of doing work virtually. The authors then offer scientifically proven methods for measuring these costs and go further to provide predictive solutions on how to manage them into the future. Wherever your organization is in its understanding of Virtual Distance, this book will show you how to manage the new risks to productivity and human well-being that arise with digital work. With this book, you'll learn how to reignite meaning into the workplace, fully accounting for the costs of virtualization and leading your teams to new heights.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53572136272214,"sku":"9781119608592-V","price":20.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781119608592_1.jpg?v=1781710082","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/r-reilly-richard-the-power-of-virtual-distance-9781119608592","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
