This document analyzes different constructs of the leader’s role in the structure of organizations, both in virtual and co-located organizations, and how structure shapes organizations’ culture. The model developed by Karen Sobel Lojeski, the “Virtual Distance Leadership Model” will be describe and used to discuss its application in organizations and what role the leaders will have. Additionally, the diverse forces that compel the need for strategic, organizational change and the leader’s function in implementing culture, strategy, and structural transformation will be discussed. Finally, an analysis of the responsibility virtual leadership has had in the transformation of the virtual scenario of organizational structure will be conducted.

According to Lawrence and Weber (2011), volunteers are “people who assist others in the community through unpaid work.” Volunteers are, according to Ellis (2003), the organization’s unpaid human resources department, the organization’s spokespeople, the community outreach department, and the fundraising department, and they contribute their energy and skills to benefit the organization because they believe in the organization’s mission and vision. Ellis (2003) goes on to state that “Volunteer is a pay rate not a job title."
