Remote Leadership (Creativity and Innovation Management)
Webinar
For years companies and universities have invested video conferencing technologies. Business thinkers discussed the strengths and weaknesses of virtual teams and none doubted their growing importance in a globalized market. It was however the Covid-19 pandemic and the world-wide stay-at-home orders have become the driving force for increased acceptance of remote work and regardless of how and when things will normalize, the proof of concept is there. Companies have seen that a home-office labor force can be productive. They have realized the huge savings potentials in office space and travel costs.
This does not mean that physical presence will no longer be required of a majority of the work force but remote work, virtual teams and by extension, the need for managers skilled in leading remote teams, will forever coexist with traditional models of work.
This seminar will deepen the participant’s understanding of the dynamics of remote teams, will sensitize them to the challenges in leading such teams and will equip them with the tools and techniques needed to lead these teams effectively.
