How do you lead employees well when you don't physically work with them?
In Virtual Leadership, Bart Banfield simplifies the complexities of working and leading in a twenty-first-century remote work environment. Through these pages, you will learn:
- How to influence those you lead in a virtual work environment
- Why change within the workplace is inevitable
- The benefits of health and wellness in the virtual work environment
- How to create a culture of coaching within your organization
- Why self-awareness matters and makes you a better virtual leader
The world's workforce is changing rapidly, and businesses must evolve or risk getting passed by. Virtual Leadership will show you concrete principles of effective leadership for the twenty-first century.
Your life is about to change. Embedded within
this book are ideas and lessons that have been passed down from one generation
to the next for centuries. My only goal behind writing this book is to take the
principles I have acquired, couple them with the experience and lessons I have
learned in over 20 years of working in a variety of leadership positions, and
merely pay it forward.
These leadership
principles have been tested over time and have proven to be the necessary
ingredients to create success. If you choose to apply them in your life, you
will achieve more peace and prosperity than you ever thought possible. Your
results will be contingent on the effort you put into applying these lessons.
Success comes in
many colors, but make no mistake, it all comes from behind the same door. The
problem for you and millions of others like you is that the door is currently
locked. The door requires a key to unlock everything you want in life. Not any
key will do. The key must be the right size and shape, and it must be turned in
the proper sequence to unlock the door of success. Along with the key is a
willingness to open your mind to the belief that if you want something bad
enough and are willing to follow in the footsteps of others who have traveled
this path and achieved similar results, you can have it.
I know because I
have the key, and I have unlocked the door. I am no different than you. The son
of a public-school educator with modest means, I was not born with a silver
spoon in my mouth. I began my climb over 20 years ago and have successfully
reached the summit of my profession. My goal is to help you achieve the summit
too.
I have studied
leadership throughout my life and have read hundreds of books, allowing me to
become an authority on the topic. Most of the leadership principles in this
book are not mine. This book is full of quotes and leadership principles from
authors who have been influential in my life. The principles embedded within
this book have come from those who walked this trail before me and have been
kind enough to pay it forward so a small-town Oklahoma
kid from humble beginnings could achieve his dreams. I am grateful to those who
came before me. My goal is to gather all the leadership principles I have
acquired into one book and simplify the complexity of the leadership gauntlet.
I want to encourage you to pay close attention to the sequence of the
leadership principles. Learning can be linear, and many of the concepts and
methods build on one another.
Before we begin our
journey together, I want you to know one thing. I believe in you. When you
practice these principles in a disciplined fashion, you will begin to see your
life change in a positive direction. Waiting at the completion of this book is
the answer you desire. The blueprint of success in your life is right behind
this door. Turn the page and unlock your future.
