Audio Interview
Are you able to give a "thumbs up" for your Virtual Team leadership skills?
You can learn how to lead a Virtual Team successfully. In this leadership TeleSeminar we will reveal some of the most important secrets for leading Virtual Teams including...
- The need for relationship building –- it needs to be done differently than when the team is co-located.
- Staying connected with each other -- sending an email won't cut it.
- The importance of "foundational conversations" -- most Virtual Teams skip these and suffer the consequences.
- The challenge of making space for different personalities or styles in the team -- you can ignore the differences or you can learn to harness them.
- Leverage the "stages of group development" (Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing) -- Virtual Teams go through these same stages just like a co-located team, but are you aware of the differences?
- and a few more...
