A FEW THINGS THAT I AM PROUD OF I am doing creative research with important practical value. I have investigated virtual team leadership from innovative angles, for example, leader traits needed in cross-cultural organizational diverse virtual teams, leader delegation in four major management and leadership functions, etc. I have a clear vision about how I integrate my various research interests and conduct research in next 5 years. I developed and run a fast-growing business that expands internationally. I manage the employees in the branch office in China distantly and yet build a motivated cohesive team.

I've published papers in work relationship formation in virtual work environment, transformational leadership in virtual team, virtual team maturity and virtual team leadership delegation. My current research project investigates under which specific circumstances virtual team leaders delegate and the effects of leadership delegation on team performance. My secondary research interests are in small business information technology management. This line of research is inspired by the interesting issues I encountered when working in small businesses and managing my own business.
