"Hoefling, a corporate trainer and consultant, says that "virtual" organizations don't develop of their own accord but must be cultivated to meet a particular corporation's needs. The company must identify in advance the type of team, channels of communication, chain of command that it seeks and commit to continuing work on fine-tuning such details as e-mail and voice mail as well as management. Managers involved first hand with off-site employees will find Hoefling's advice and checklists most useful."

Publishers Weekly Review

"This is a tremendous book! It is substantive, well-researched, conceptually sound and practical, all at the same time. If you want the handbook for building, implementing and sustaining virtual teams and work groups, buy this book"

"Working Virtually brings the growing world of "distributed work" into a strategic perspective. Trina Hoefling not only highlights the important distinctions between virtual workgroups and virtual TEAMS, but also provides detailed practical steps and tools for implementation and management. It provides a bridge across the chasm. This is a book the CEO should read first...then pass along to all key managers."
