Leadership in Action - CCL's periodical for practicing leaders and those who train practicing leaders - shares research like that by Dr. Laura Erskine on leading employees via online, virtual interactions: “Although physical separation and communication channels may be what the news media and organizations are focused ...on, the real driver is the degree of psychological distance between leaders and followers. Followers who felt that their leader trusted them, would back them in difficult situations, and give them autonomy were both more successful and more satisfied.” Read the full article via the link.Read More

Good article. An important consequential problem from "too much on the plate", and just as important as teamwork, efficiency, and communication, is the resulting stress that accompanies the work overload. Psychological well- being is difficult to attain when stress is high across the entire company. Trust is lost when emotional responses damage relationships as a result. Maintaining psychological well-being throughout the company when workload is too high helps lead to high performance.
