Leading Virtual Teams
 Succeeding in a Geographically Dispersed Organization
You don’t have to be a futurist to see that the world of work will become more and more virtual. In fact, today, it’s unlikely that you and all your teammates are co-located. This is the new world of work – where geographic boundaries have been eliminated. The benefits virtual teams enjoy are tremendous. They encourage greater diversity, have a much larger pool of human resources from which to choose when staffing and get the best from their members by allowing them to work on their terms. But with all the benefits that make virtual teams attractive, there are challenges as well, especially for team leaders who are conducting an orchestra without being able to see all the players. Time zones, cultures and geographic separation all add a level of management complexity. In this interactive workshop, William Arruda shares with you everything you need to know so you can be a productive leader or member of a virtual team. You will learn how to: - establish common team values, systems and processes
- communicate clearly, consistently and constantly
- create a cohesive, collaborative and connected community
- use technology to increase connectedness and productivity
- recognize and reward results
