Description
Leading Virtual Teams
This course will give you the chance to see things from the remote-perspective, as well as the centre-perspective and come up with solid action plans to ensure your teams never feel remote.
Virtual team-working is now commonplace across EMEA, North America, Africa and Asia Pacific, and it brings with it some specific challenges. Some of these challenges include culture, which can play a significant part of effective communication.
Those teams with strong virtual leadership will feel involved and engaged with the rest of their team and their shared goals; this will mean improved performance and less misunderstandings.
