In The Virtual Leader, Takako Hirata, an experienced leader of large international virtual teams, shares her proven methods for thriving in the remote workplace with the help of new leadership principles. Remote work is here to stay. As a result, remote leadership is now a core competency for most executives and managers.

Conserving office rituals in the remote environment . Cultivating trust . Enabling clear and efficient communication . Making your company leaner and reinvesting in your teams .
