Engaging in Virtual Collaborative Writing: Issues, Obstacles, and Strategies

I learned two weeks ago that I have a new manager who works in another part of the country. Talk about needing to interact and create identity “out there”... I’m going to have to convince my manager that I’m doing a good job, differentiate myself and my work from that of my peers (some who work at his location), all while my current focus is writing for a product that he does not manage. And then there is the writing and communicating I’m already doing ABSTRACT
