The massive world-wide shift of the past two years have forced many organizations to face the challenges of working virtually. While many made that change during the height of the pandemic, few have really embraced it – and fewer still have thrived in the midst of this new circumstance. There is an urgent need to understand the new dynamic of leading virtual teams and benefit from the proven best practices of world-class organizations to bridge the gap between where your team is and where you need them to be.
This new program explores the opportunities – and even surprising advantages – of working remotely, as well as the challenges and real issues when dealing with a virtual workplace. Working together as an effective team is still necessary to achieve your mission, but the way you work together must shift in vital ways to best adapt to your new circumstances. Having the right insights and tools for leading virtual teams is more critical than ever – and this program has been developed to address the most important aspects of virtual team success.
