Leading in a Virtual Environment ™

Trust and Communication Drive Success

"We are doing everything we can to keep travel costs down. One direct impact of this is less face-to-face meetings for dispersed teams. We need our managers to become experts at leading and delivering results without jumping on a plane."

Leadership is hard enough. Leadership from afar poses unique challenges beyond the obvious management logistics such as juggling time zones. It requires specific strategies for building trust, establishing comfortable, effective working relationships, staying abreast of work projects and avoiding the common communication missteps associated with email and voice mail.

Leading in a Virtual Environment is an interactive workshop that applies critical management fundamentals, tools and strategies to actual virtual leadership situations.
