When it comes to managing remote workers, out of sight shouldn't mean out of mind, new research shows.
A University of Illinois study revealed that those in charge of leading employees who work outside the office — either at home or abroad — need to change their leadership style.
Illinois business professor Ravi Gajendran said managers can mitigate the isolation of virtual employees by taking a relationship-based approach to their leadership style. While companies typically use a top-down, "one-to-many" leadership style that treats all employees similarly and often interchangeably, the study shows they might find more success handling remote workers by using a "leader-member-exchange" method.
