Industry Reviews

"Unchartered times demand progressive leaders who are prepared to learn and adapt with new leadership skills of their own. It's never too late to pivot and learn new ways to lead. [Leading Virtual Teams] is so timely and urgently needed"
Greg Creed, retired Yum! Brands CEO, Dallas, USA

"The COVID-19 crash course in virtual working has suddenly changed almost everyone into a digital worker for at least some of their job. The world has changed forever, in a matter of weeks, the adoption of technologies into business meeting culture that have been resisted for years are suddenly completely mainstream. Cameras that had been stubbornly kept switched off are now on. Meetings that had to be in-person are turning out to be just as much of a success when run virtually with the appropriate active facilitation. Although the technology works well, the dynamics of virtual work and leadership require new skills and many executives have been left scrambling to apply their skills in new ways. Responding to the crisis, Catherine Mattiske has rapidly drawn on her years of experience to provide an excellent guide for leaders trying to navigate this challenging new world."

Robert Hillard, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer, Deloitte Australia
