In an era of global workforces, it’s becoming more common to manage virtual teams. You could be managing someone on the other side of the world that you haven’t even met. Thomas Sullivan, Professor of leadership skills at Hult International Business School, gives his top tips on managing virtual teams.

We also hear from author, Erik Korsvik Østergaard, who advises leaders to be more responsive to allow them to adapt to this new working world.
