Course Overview

Top

In today’s global and technology-enabled environment, working in virtual teams has become the norm rather than the exception. Companies expect employees to collaborate and work in both formal and informal virtual teams and contribute in a productive way to business results. The challenge is that working virtually presents a set of communication and leadership challenges that leaders have not had to deal with in the past.

The Leading Virtual Teams workshop is a 2-day programme that teaches leaders at all levels how to maximise both individual and team effectiveness in a virtual environment.
