Virtual Boss
Globalisation has brought into the picture a virtual boss who may be either in the US, the UK or even someone in India. Is handling a virtual boss different from the boss who sits just outside your cabin? It certainly is! The boss who is in your own building is aware of your movements and how much you have accomplished or whether you are moving towards something. The virtual boss has to be informed of these things either by mail or by phone.
Two Way Communication
A two way communication is absolutely necessary so that you do not get side tracked or do not take the wrong track! You can reach out by deliberately blocking a specific time with your virtual boss either every two days or even more frequently, depending on the nature of your work. You will have to operate effectively and successfully to win him over. It is important to learn the customs and culture of the country the boss is operating from so that you do not feel frustrated.
