Leading teams – online is not the same?

A wonderful quotation by Peter Drucker has really meant food for thought…

 Listen to Drucker’s words (my voice!)

I wonder whether this “we-attitude” can be learnt, and to what extent the leader also depends on how team members perceive their role (the leader’s as well as their own I mean). I feel I’ve learned to become an effective leader online (and I guess that’s part of the explanation for the steady growth of LearningwithComputers), and keep wondering why I failed to make this a reality when I had the chance to try f2f team management, back in 1996… Is it age has turned me wiser? :-p … Or are there essential differences between f2f and online team coordination?
