Course Details
How well do you manage your teams from afar?
The advancements in technology and the diversity of the roles that we carry out today means that our teams and those who work with us are rarely co-located. This one day managing remote teams shows you how to get the best from the situation
One of the key challenges for the leaders and managers of today is to overcome the remoteness with which we work and to ensure that our people continue to be supported and valued. This managing remote teams course shows you it is also important to have the correct balance of supervision and control. Too much and people feel stifled and monitored. Too little and people feel undervalued or invisible.
Working with remote teams presents a range of management issues that must be overcome to allow organisations to remain effective.
If you manage remote teams or have remote teams in your organisation, then this one day course could be for you.
