Virtual Leadership: Leading Dispersed Teams
Why Choose Virtual Leadership: Leading Dispersed Teams Training Course?
Modern day leadership theories and styles have evolved from the classical theories derived from the 1940’s, 50, and 60’s, with some adaptations over the years to suit the relevant decade. However, our thinking and approach to leadership has mainly focused around being in constant presence with those we lead: e.g. we have a traditional central HQ, with all the senior management/Board residing there. This gives complete ‘hands-on’ control. With global fast-paced communication and augmented reality this traditional structure may not be always valid – and leaders will now often find that some of their key people are hundreds of miles away, living in another country, or just working from home. Virtual leadership now requires a completely different emphasis of skills and techniques. You can no longer just rely on your physical presence, but will need to adapt your leadership through other attributes and skills.
This Virtual Leadership: Leading Dispersed Teams training course has been developed to explore the new ways of virtual leadership and leading remotely with virtual teams. On the training course you will learn about the different approach of leadership that will need to be applied to leading virtual, remote or dispersed teams; the new engagement and influence techniques of leading others remotely; how to effectively communicate using different channels, remotely mange performance and tasks, as well as remotely developing people for greater performance using leading coaching and mentoring techniques. This is essential development for those leading remote and dispersed workers or virtual teams in their organisation.
