His work culminated in a 2009 dissertation that asked leaders critical questions about building trust, fostering collaboration, and achieving success in virtual environments. At the time, remote leadership was still emerging, and his insights offered a fresh perspective on managing global teams in the multinational engineering service industry. Fast forward almost 20 years, and the world has changed dramatically. With rapid technological advances and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual work has become the norm. In this episode, Dr. Bersing revisits the same questions, exploring how leadership practices have evolved.
