Course Description

How do you successfully lead when NO-ONE is in the same room together (or even in the same time zone)? The greater the physical distance between team members, the greater the challenges. Not only do you have the risk of ‘misattribution’, but there is the very real danger of communication issues, disruption due to unnecessary friction, and so much more.

In this session, we’ll go through the risks and the strategies you can use to overcome all challenges with leading a virtual team to ensure all team goals are achieved. We’ll show you how to achieve cohesion and strong connections between team members who don’t have any opportunity for ‘water-cooler’ talk and in-office interactions.
