Answer to Question 1

Online leadership involves leading people who are physically separated from you and with whom you communicate electronically. As face-to-face interactions are missing in such situations, substitutes for leadership, like experience, training, explicit formalized goals, rigid rules and procedures, are vital. However, the leader's ability to establish identification-based trust through electronic messages is a crucial function, and often the success of a virtual team may be hindered by the lack of this trust. Thus, substitutes can be used for online leadership, but the role of the leader cannot be dismissed.
