Abstract
Effective leadership can make a difference in the success of a team, and virtual teams are no exception. However, virtual teams present special challenges, particularly in the expression of the context-rich and personal influence that is such an important part of leadership (Bell & Kozlowski, 2002). Communication through computer- mediated channels requires a different awareness of leadership roles and how they can be expressed. In fact, the communication system itself has roles to play, some of which might be perceived by team members as leadership roles. We begin with a brief summary of the historical context of leadership and existing research on leadership in computer-supported teams. We then discuss opportunities for research on enhancing leadership in virtual teams, particularly from the perspective of integrating human with technology roles.
