Close: Leading Well Across Distance and Cultures [signed]

How do you effectively lead, motivate, inspire, and coach someone you lead who lives in a different country, culture, or time zone? When polled about actual time spent in face-to-face and mediated communication, most distance leaders admitted that they only had 20-40 hours of communication per year! That's only five days. Designed to be read on a two- or three-hour flight by busy executives and ministry leaders, this book flattens the steep learning curve required to be effective in 21st century global leadership. Ken Cochrum presents an easy-to-grasp paradigm of servanthood, distance leadership, and cross-cultural leadership. Based on three years of research and interviews with more than 80 global leaders.
