The work world is changing rapidly. One of the most important changes is in the form of the increasing need to lead across time zones and geographical boundaries. Distance leadership represents a complexity few managers are prepared for. Participants in this seminar will discover how to build a responsive, committed, and cohesive dispersed work team. You can learn how to link people you rarely see with processes and technology to create a collaborative virtual environment.
Advances in technology have enabled organizations to locate employees closer to customers, in their homes, and clustered together in small offices in other countries. This significantly increases the challenges of managing individual work performance because of a lack of face-to-face interaction. Many of the management principles we grew up with have to be rethought, revised, or simply replaced to fit a virtual workplace.
This fast-paced, highly-interactive one-day workshop gives participants the tools and skills for achieving team success across time and space. In fact, before the day is over, there will be numerous specific ideas and techniques presented to improve communication and collaboration. In doing so, attendees will develop an infrastructure for effectively operating a remote team.
Topics covered include:
- Co-located vs. remote teams
- What Went Wrong case
- The three key questions for remote employees
- The Knowledge Sharing & Accessibility Profiles
- Listening to remote employees
- Using communication tools
- Giving feedback remotely
- Giving a virtual pat on the back
- Generating a 6-part Team Communication Plan
