A large number of teams suddenly need to work no longer physically but digitally together. However, switching to virtual teamwork is not only a special requirement for the team, but also for the leadership of virtual teams. Despite great efforts to explore virtual leadership, research still lacks an overview of the leadership of virtual teams. We address this gap by presenting the results of a narrative literature review conducted by five independent scientists to map the broadest possible spectrum of results with special attention to a heterogeneity of the results. Thereby, our work provides a point of departure for a structured exploration of virtual team leadership.<\/p>\n<h3>Keywords<\/h3>\n<p>virtual teams, leadership, management, emotional intelligence, communication<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Leading Virtual Teams A Literature Review\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/C5jiewEuk0w?feature=oembed&rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR\/S<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Anna Zeuge<\/strong><br \/>\nUniversity of Siegen<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:anna.zeuge@uni-siegen.de\">anna.zeuge@uni-siegen.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Anna Zeuge works as a research assistant at the Chair of Information Systems, University of Siegen, also being a member of the local institute of interdisciplinary research.
