It describes three scenarios involving a newly appointed remote leader who struggles with balancing local needs with university policies while receiving an overwhelming number of requests from students, faculty, and administrators.

The document suggests developing ten tips both for remote leaders on how to effectively lead from a distance and for organizations on how to better support distributed leadership models.
