"Emerging leadership is really important in a virtual environment because we have to rely more on the effectiveness of our communication since we cannot observe formal leaders directly or as easily," said Fuhe Jin, Ph.D., now an assistant professor of management at The College of New Jersey, who worked on the study while a doctoral student in SOM.
"If you want to be recognized as a leader in a virtual group, you need to pay closer attention to how the audience responds to what you're saying and support others' ideas so you can better facilitate communication."
The study's findings could guide the development of new training programs to strengthen verbal communication skills in virtual workspaces and help organizations improve the structure of virtual teams.
Teamwork through a screen isn't always the same as having a group in the same room, so how are companies cultivating leaders in these virtual settings?
