"Video communications will be at the center of tomorrow's collaboration technologies.

Democratizing video communication in the enterprise creates a new leadership opportunity for CEOs. This book is a handbook for managers who want to know how to use that tool."--Josh Silverman, CEO, Skype

"A brilliant, original and timely book that stunningly reframes leadership for our Internet Age."--Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor Business, University of Southern California, and author of "Still Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership"
