In ‘The Future of Team Leadership is Multi-modal’, we explain why and provide actionable insights and clear guidelines for leaders at all levels. The actionable insights indicated what leadership approach to use in what modality (virtual versus in- person) and in what context (one- on-one, team, and external). At a time when so many are struggling to keep their people focused and engaged, the article provided welcome clarity.” ROBERT HOOIJBERG PROFESSOR OF LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE MICHAEL WATKINS PROFESSOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR
