Advances in information technology have provided a broad platform for anytime-anywhere interactions, creating significant challenges for leaders to lead at a distance and across diverse cultures and settings. Yet, it is not uncommon today for people to relay stories of electronic communication that they misinterpreted or that caused great distress in their relationships with fellow workers. Currently, there is no protocol for technology-mediated leadership in virtual teams. In this two-year field study at UNISYS, we will explore how virtual teams form, develop trust, and lead themselves to higher levels of performance. This study is unique in that most of the literature on virtual teams has ignored leadership, which is one of fundamental drivers of team performance.

信息技术的进步为随时随地的互动提供了广阔的平台，给领导者在不同的文化和环境中进行远程领导带来了巨大的挑战。然而，今天，人们转述他们曲解的电子通信故事或给他们与同事的关系带来巨大痛苦的故事并不少见。目前，虚拟团队中还没有关于技术中介领导的协议。在Unisys为期两年的实地研究中，我们将探索虚拟团队是如何形成、发展信任并带领自己达到更高水平的绩效的。这项研究的独特之处在于，大多数关于虚拟团队的文献都忽略了领导力，而领导力是团队绩效的基本驱动因素之一。
