Further Details
Increasingly, it is becoming necessary to manage teams from a distance because team members may be far away, or because they report elsewhere except for the current project or task. This is a relatively new challenge for many people and this course addresses the issues and best practice to ensure that team performance does not suffer as a consequence.
Some of the most common issues faced by leaders of virtual teams include:
How to recognise and celebrate individual performance
How to ensure clear and effective communication without regular meetings
How to avoid misunderstandings and delays caused by e-mail communication
How to develop trust in a virtual team
How to facilitate teambuilding
How to access, analyse and manage data
This workshop addresses these and many other problems found with virtual teams.
